Aphrodisias (Ancient Greek: Ἀφροδισιάς) was a town of ancient Thrace on the Thracian Chersonese, inhabited during Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine times.[1] During Roman times, it received a Roman colony under the name of Colonia Flaviopolis.[1]

Its site is located on the Gallipoli Peninsula in European Turkey.[1][2]
