The city was part of the Seleucid Empire and served as an important center for trade and culture in the region. The city is known for its strategic location near the Aegean Sea and its well-planned urban layout. Archaeological remains, including temples and public buildings, reflect its historical significance. Stratonice eventually became part of the Roman Empire and continued to thrive until its decline in the later centuries.
