Mysia

Mysia is a historical region of north-western Anatolia, lying south of the Sea of Marmara and bordering the Troad, Lydia and Bithynia. In antiquity it included Pergamon, capital of the Attalid kingdom, and later formed part of the Roman province of Asia. Around 1300 the Turkmen Karasid beylik took most of the region from the Byzantines before passing to the Ottomans.
