Caria and Lydia circa 50 AD (Mastaura not shown)

Mastaura (Ancient Greek: Μάσταυρα), was an ancient Greek town near Dereağzı, Nazilli in northern Caria, not to be confused with ancient Mastaura (Lycia).

Some sources speak of the town as originally belonging to Lydia, a kingdom into which Croesus (560-546 BC) briefly incorporated Caria.[1][2]

Pliny the Elder mentions the town as dependent on Ephesus as its provincial capital and thus as belonging in his time (1st century AD) to the Roman province of Asia[3] which, under the Roman Empire, incorporated Caria.

In Severan times the city became rich as evidenced by the impressive buildings.[4]
