Acroterion with Temple of Zeus in Aizanoi
Aizanoi was an ancient city in western Anatolia. Located in what is now Cavdarhisar, Kutahya Province, Aizanoi is situated astride the River Penkalas, some 1, 000 m above sea level. The city was an important political and economic centre in Roman times; surviving remains from the period include a well preserved Temple of Zeus, unusual combined theatre-stadium complex, and macellum inscribed with the Price Edict of Diocletian. The city fell into decline in Late Antiquity. Later serving as a citadel, in 2012 the site was submitted for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List
