Aizanoi (Latinized as Aezani) was an Ancient Greek city in western Anatolia, located at the modern village of Çavdarhisar near Kütahya, on both sides of the Penkalas river about 1,000 m above sea level. An important political and economic centre in Roman times, its surviving remains include a well-preserved Temple of Zeus, a combined theatre-stadium complex, and a round building, probably a macellum, inscribed with a copy of Diocletian's Price Edict. The city fell into decline in Late Antiquity and was submitted for the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2012.
