Hyllarima (Ancient Greek: Ὑλλάριμα) was an inland town of ancient Caria, inhabited during Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine times.[1] Hyllarima is one of the find-sites of inscriptions and is the type-site of one variant of the Carian alphabets. It was under Rhodian domination between 189 and 167 B.C. It had a number of rural sanctuaries, of which the most notable is that of Zeus Hyllos.[2]
Hyllarima was the seat of a bishop in antiquity; no longer a residential bishop, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[3]
Its site is located near Mesevle in Asiatic Turkey.[1][4]
It has been noted that large historic theaters are still visible within the ruins, but there has yet to be any excavations of the site.[4] While there is no evidence of prehistoric habitation, based on the location historians believe there is potential.[4]
