SART (SARDIS)
Sardis is in the Aegean Region near Manisa and
Izmir. Sardis was the
capital of the famous Kingdom
of Lydia, where the first coins in the
world were minted. The
Temple of Artemis by the Sart Stream dates back to the
4th century B.C. In the same place there
was the Temple of Kybele
(the Mother Goddess)
before. By the temple, there are a Byzantine
Church and a synagogue. St. John referred
to the church as one of the
''Seven Churches."
