ADRIANOU THIRES (Ancient city) MYSIA
Hadrianutherae (Hadrianou therai), a town of Mysia, on the road from
Ergasteria to Miletopolis, was built by the emperor Hadrian to commemorate a successful
hunt which he had had in the neighbourhood. (Dion Cass. lxix. 10; Spartian, Hadr.
20.) This town, of which we possess coins from the reign of Hadrian onwards, is
identified by Sestini (Viaggi Diversi, p. 135) with the village of Trikala, one
hour and a half from Soma. (Comp. G. Cedren. i. p. 437, ed. Bonn; Aristid. i.
p. 500.) It seems to have been a place of some note; for it was the see of a bishop,
and on its coins a senate is mentioned. (Hierocl. p. 6.)
