Satala (Lydia)
Satala was an ancient city in Asia Minor landscape Lydia in western Turkey today. It was presumably at the place of today's Adala at the point where the river Hermos enters the plain of Sardis . Some Greek inscriptions were found there, as well as a fragment of the Latin sacrae litterae , an inscription found in several places in Asia Minor from the year 204 about transport privileges. In the high Kaser period, Satala was probably not an independent polis, but belonged to Saittai .
The titular diocese of Satala in Lydia of the Roman Catholic Church goes back to a late antique diocese of the city .
