Aludda

? bei Hacım Köyü ?

Aludda is the Alydda of the geographer Ptolemy, who lists it among the inland towns of Mysia, while the map sets it in Phrygia on the road between Akmonia and Philadelphia; the Ravenna list writes Alida. Its exact site is unknown. Older research placed it at Hacım Köyü near Uşak, where a Roman cemetery and early Byzantine architectural fragments have been found, but that has never been proven. On the map the whole road runs straight across the sheet, when in reality it ran south-west.
