An Aeolian city in Asia Minor, between the HERMUS and CAÏCUS river valleys (BA 56 E4, Aegae). Herodotus lists Aegaeae (1.149.1) as one of the twelve Aeolian CITIES of the mainland conquered by the Persians in the time of CYRUS (II). Very little is known about the city before the Hellenistic period (Radt 1991). It did not become a member of the DELIAN LEAGUE and thus may have remained under Persian control after the wars, although XENOPHON in the early fourth century describes it as not subject to the king (Hell. 4.5.8). Xenophon and other later sources refer to it as “Aegae” (e.g., Ps.‐Scylax 98.2; Strabo 13.3.5/C621).
