1024 HADRIANOPOLI& Min. p. 809) identifies it with the Turkish town £oli near the Filbas. 3. A town boilt hj the emperor Hadrian in Phrygia, between Philomelinm and Tyriaeom. (Hierocl. p. 672; Goncil. Chalced. p. 670; Condi. Const iL p. 241.) Kiepert is inclined to identify this town with the rains of Arkutchan, [L. S.] HADRIAKO'POLIS ('ASpiayovroXis), a town of Illyricam, founded by Hadrian, and situated on the road from Apollonia to Nicopolis, aboat midway be- tween those two towns. (Pent Tab.)*Jtwas re- pured by Justinian, and called JvffnsGFO&s (Pro- cop, de Aed. ir. 1), and became one m^ the cities of the government of old Epeiros and the see of a bishop (Hierodes). The small theatre and other vestiges in the pbun below LiMkhovo mark the position of this city. Ten (ur twelve miles lower down the river are the nilns of a; fortress or small town of the By- zantine age, called DrynSpolit which name has been taken for a oomiption of the old city, thoogh it really is derived from the river on which the place is situated, still called Dhr^ or Dryno, These re- mains ore of a later age than the theatre, which be- longs to Paganiion. The probability is, that when Hadrianopolis fell in ruins DrynopoUs was built on a different site, and became the see of the bishop. (Leake, Northern Greece, vol. i. p. 76.) [E. B. J.] HADRIANUTHE'RAE ('ASpud'ov difp<u),a town of Mjsia, on the road from Ergasteria*to Miletopolis, was built by the emperor Hadrian to commemorate a successful hunt which he had had in the neigh- bourhood. (Dion Cass. Izix. 10 ; Spartian. Hadr» 20.) This town, of which we possess cdns from the reign of Hadrian onwards, is identified by Sestini (^ViaffgiDwerei, p. 135) with the village of Tri- hahf one hour and a half irom Soma. (Comp. G. Cedren. L p. 437, ed. Bonn; Aristid. i. p. 500.) It seems to have been a place of some note; for it was the see of a bishop, and on its coins a senate is men- tioned. (HierocL p. 6.) [L.

It was a Phoenician colony, older than Carthage (SalL Jug. 19), under the dominion of which dty it fell to the extent described under Carthago. PUny mentions it among the oppida libera of Byzadum (v. 4. s. 3; comp. Mela, L 7. § 2). Trajan made it a colony, and its full name is found on inscriptions as Col. Concordia Ulpia Trajana Augusta Fruoifera Hadrumbtina, and on coins as CoLONiA Concordia Juua Hadrumettna Pia. (Gruter, p. 362; Eckhd, vol. iv. p. 134.) It stood in a very fertile district, as one of the above titles denotes, and was one of the chief sea-ports for HAEMIMONTU& the great com-produdng countiy of Byzaoimi. Its site formed an amphitheatre ovcvlookixig tbe sea, aad surrounded by strong walls, which did not, hovnc, enclose its harbour (Gothoo), which faij immediate bdowit (Be22:4/r.8,5,62, 63; BaiM; the strte^ ment of the Peripbie, that it was &X^icros,docs aot prove that its harbour was at a dJatancy, bat snuflr that it had been choked up by the aaods wlucfa aie always encroaching on this coast.) It is oAen ras- tioned in the Punic and Civil Wan. (Fcljh^ Aj^ba, ILcc; Liv. xxx. 29; Kep. Haim. 6; Caes. B. C. u. 28 ; BeU. Afr. 0. cc.) Having shaicd the frie which so many other dties of Africa suffered fitn the Vandals, it was restored by Jastinian, and named JuariNiANA or JusnNiANOFoua (Procofi. L c : Forbiger, voL li. p. 845, asserts, without giving m authori^, that it was afterwards named HfCRAnjrt, after the emperor Hemdius, and on this gionad he fellovrs Shaw in placing it at HerUakf 10 miks higher up along the coast; but the <^i<fM^ft^ m the Itineraiy, pp. 52, 53, 56, deariy show the idoititr of Suea with Hadrumetnm, and of fferidak with HoRRBA CoELiA: the name of the latter place suggests that it was a great. depSt for the a^ncat- tural produce which formed the staple of the earn- merce of Hadmmetum. The conjectuxv of Banh deserves notice, that the name Aua may be tbe representative of ^ a^ovca, as we know to be the case with Apollonia on the Cyrenaic coast.) This city was the native pUboe of the Caesar Ckdiiis Albums. (Capitolin. Clod. AW. 1.)

Extensive ruins were still to be seen at Smaa a the time of the Arabian geograjAier Abou Qkstj^ Bekri of Cordova, who describes, among the remaim of many other great ancient buildings, two in par- ticular: the one, whkh he calls Melab, an xminraee building of light vdcanic stone from Etna, with arched galleries, appears to have been a theatre cr amphitheatre; and the other, which he calls El Ktdftatf was a temple on an encmnous h a swrnni four steps high, of which a quadrangular inasa d raasoniy still in existence, and called the MakbAa, i. e./aUeHy is supposed by Barth to be the mnaiiis.

This province, of which Adri- anopdis and Anchialus were the prindpal towns, is not mentioned until a late period of the Bamaa empire, when it is described by Ammianus Marcel- linus as a distinct province in the north-east of Thrace.
