  Priene Aydın Söke'de Ephesus is an Ionian (Ancient Greek) city located about 100 km away. The city is 10 km north of the Menderes river. When the city was established, it was on the seaside. Because of the meandering alluvium, the city is now on land for miles.

It is assumed that    Belus' son was founded by Ions in the direction of Aegyptus. The city is then taken by Lydia Ardys. B.C. In the mid-6th century, the city was re-enacted and enriched under the direction of the 'wise' Bias. B.C. In 545, it was captured by Persian King Cyrus (Kurash). City Persians against the Ion Rebellion na (499 BC) joined with 12 ships. The city became weakened by the disputes that arise with neighboring Samos (Misam) and the complications following the death of Alexander the Great. In 155, Rome was forced to rescue the city from the hands of the kings of Pergamon and Cappadocia. 

  Orophernes, the rebellious son of the Cappadocian king, reached the treasure he had buried in Priene with the Romans buying the city, and he honored the city's Athena temple as a vow. It remained a rich city under Roman and Byzantine rule. B.C. In the thirteenth century, the city was conquered by Turks.
