Port city of ancient Bithynia
Dia (
Sangarius River and Heraclea Pontica. The name in Marcian, Diaspolis (Δίας πόλις), may be a mistake for Diospolis, which Ptolemy has.[2] There are some very rare coins with the epigraph Dias (Διας), which Sestini
assigns to this place.
Its site is located near Akçakoca in Asiatic Turkey.[3][4]
