About Stratonikeia, Muğla province
The Seleucid king Antiochus I founded Stratonikeia in the third century BCE, naming it for his wife Stratonice, on an earlier Carian settlement. The city later passed to Rhodian and then Roman control, flourishing as a center of marble quarrying and monumental building. Its inscriptions, including numerous gladiator contracts, became an important source on Roman provincial life.
