| Additional information |
Miletopolis sat in the Mysian interior near the Makestos river, a secondary polis that never achieved the commercial weight of its coastal neighbors but maintained an independent civic coinage across the Hellenistic and into the Roman Republican period. The city's name itself — invoking Miletus — likely reflects an early colonial or synoikistic connection to the great Ionian city, though the precise relationship remains debated among ancient sources.
