Mastaura in Asia
Mastaura in Asia was a small town that under the Roman Empire was incorporated into the province of Asia I.
It is to be distinguished from the town of Mastaura in Lycia.
== Location ==
Mastaura was situated in the north of Caria, at the foot of Mount Messogis, on the small river Chrysaoras, between Tralles and Tripolis.〔(William Smith, ''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography'' (1854), entry: "Mastaura" )〕〔(Istanbul Guide, "Carie ... Mastaura & Harpasa" )〕 Some sources speak of the town as originally belonging to Lydia, a kingdom into which Croesus (560-546 BC) briefly incorporated Caria.〔(Gideon Nisbet, ''Greek Epigram in the Roman Empire: Martial's Forgotten Rivals'' (Oxford University Press 2003 ISBN 978-0-19926337-0), pp. 135-136 )〕〔(The Fitzwilliam Museum, Coins of Mastaura )〕
Pliny the Elder mentions the town as dependent on Ephesus as its provincial capital and thus as belonging in his time (1st century AD) to the Roman province of Asia.〔(Pliny the Elder, ''The Natural History'', Book V, chapter 31 )〕 The geographer Strabo mentions the town as being in the valley of the Maeander River.〔(Strabo, ''The Geography'', Book XIV, chapter 1 )〕
On 16 October 1836, William Hamilton visited the ruins, then overgrown with ilex trees, brush and brambles.〔(William Hamilton, ''Researches in Asia Minor, Pontus and Armenia'' (Murray 1842), pp. 531– )〕
The partially preserved theatre of Mastaura, whose cavea is now occupied by an olive grove, awaits excavation.〔(Museum of Architecture, "Mastaura Theatre" )〕〔(Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism, "Mastaura" )〕
