Nasos


Nasos was a town and polis of ancient Aeolis. The place-name "Nesos Pordoselene" appears in the list of tributes to ancient Athens of the year 422/1 BCE but there are different opinions on whether Nesos and Pordoselene were a single city or if they are two different cities. On the other hand, the nickname "nasiotas" appears in an inscription of Adramyttium dated to 319-317 BCE.
Silver and bronze coins dating from the 4th century BCE are preserved. It has been assumed that Nasos was located on the island of Alibey Adası located between Lesbos and Asia Minor.
