Acrassus

Acrassus or Akrassos (Ancient Greek: Ἄκρασος) was an ancient Roman and Byzantine-era city in Lydia (modern Turkey). in the Roman province of Asia and Lydia. Apparently, it is the same place that Ptolemy calls Nacrasa or Nakrasa (Ancient Greek: Νάκρασα), placed on the road from Thyatira to Pergamum.

It was in the upper valley of the Caicus River, at or near İlyaslar, but its exact site is not located.

Acrassus minted its own coins.
