Aizani, Or Azani, an ancient city of Asia Minor, in Phrygia, mentioned by Strabo, but historically unknown. Its numerous remains at Tchavdyr, 30 m. S. W. of Kutaieh, have been described by several travellers since their discovery by the earl of Ashburnham in 1824. They comprise an ancient temple of Jupiter, a theatre, stadium, and gymnasium. The theatre is in fine preservation. Its greatest diameter was 185 feet, and the auditorium had 15 rows of marble seats. The river Rhyndacus (now Adranas) rises near the town and passes through it, and was spanned by two bridges of white marble, each consisting of five semicircular arches. There are besides many tombs, and Roman coins and inscriptions have been found. - See Hamilton's " Researches in Asia Minor," and Sir C. Fellows's "Asia Minor."
