Mount Tmolus
Mount Tmolus, also known as Mount Bozdağ in modern times, is a mountain located in western Türkiye, near the ancient cities of Sardis and Hypaepa.
Mount Tmolus was historically significant due to its proximity to Sardis, the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lydia.
Sardis was a wealthy and powerful city, known for its riches, particularly gold, which was said to be found in the sands of the Pactolus River, a tributary of the Hermus River that flowed from Mount Tmolus.
