Uranium (Caria)

Classical polis in Aegean Turkey
Uranium or Ouranion (
ancient Caria, on the Bodrum Peninsula.[1] Uranium was a polis (city-state) and a member of the Delian League.[2] Uranium appears in the Athenian tribute lists and paid an annual tribute of 17 drachmae, 1 obol.[3]
Its site was associated with Burgaz, on a hill NW of Geriş village, Bodrum, Asiatic Turkey.[4][5] Two Hellenistic inscriptions published in 1992, however, seem to place the city on Dikmendag, a coastal mountain about 7 km west of Ören.[6]
