Cinna or Kinna was a town of ancient Galatia.[1] It was known as Zallara in the Hittite period. It was also the seat of a bishop; no longer a residential see, it remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[2]
Location
Its site is located near Karahamzılı, Asiatic Turkey.[3][4][5] The exact location of Cinna is now lost though it is thought to have been near village of Balyk Koyounji (vilayet of Angora) in a rich corn-growing area, west of Ankara.[6][7] It is also thought to be in the locations of Cihanbeyli or Kulu.[8][9]
