Nagidos

Asia

Nagidos was an ancient city of Cilicia, on the southern coast of what is now Turkey, with its ruins on the hill of Pasabeleni near Bozyazi in Mersin Province, about 20 kilometers east of Anamur. Founded as a colony of Samos, it minted its own coins from the fifth century BCE, often depicting Aphrodite and grape clusters. Alexander the Great took the city in 333 BCE, and it was gradually abandoned around the middle of the second century BCE.
