Lydia, a name derived from its first King Lydus according to Herodotus but also known as Maeonia, occupied the western region of Asia Minor (Anatolia) in the Hermus and Cayster Valleys. Its neighbours were Caria (south), Phrygia (east), and Mysia (north). The cities located on the coast such as Smyrna and Ephesus were intermittently under the control of Lydia. As a meeting point between East and West Lydia became an important trading area which further enriched the kingdom already blessed with fertile land and natural resources, especially silver and gold from the Pactolus River. Lydia was also noted for its production of fine textiles and leather goods.

Lydia had its own language, of Indo-European origin and with an alphabet similar to Greek, which was in use until the 1st century BCE. The limited number of surviving inscriptions have resulted in only a partial decipherment of Lydian. Lydia’s art, culture, and religion also reflected its geographic location and displayed both eastern and Greek influences.
