Town of ancient Galatia
Asia Minor in the Greco-Roman period – general map – regions and main settlements Cinna or Kinna was a town of ancient Galatia .[1] It was known as Zallara in the Hittite period. It was also the seat of a bishop; no longer a residential see, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church .[2]
Its site is located near Karahamzılı, Asiatic Turkey .[3] [4] [5]
The exact location of Cinna is now lost though it is thought to have been near village of Balyk Koyounji (vilayet of Angora) in a rich corn-growing area, west of Ankara .[6] [7] It is also thought to be in the locations of Cihanbeyli or Kulu .[8] [9]
During the Late Roman Empire the town was a seat of a bishop , several of whom are known to us.[10]
