Manisa [Ottoman Turkish: ماغنيسا Manisa; Greek: Μαγνησία, Latin: Magnesia] is a large city in Turkey's Aegean Region and the administrative seat of Manisa Province. Historically, the city was also called Magnesia, and more precisely as Magnesia ad Sipylum, by the name of the Mount Sipylus [Spil Dagi: Mount Spil] that towers over the city. The English language root words "magnet" and "magnesia", their derivations, as well as their equivalents in many other languages, derive from the city's name. In Ottoman times, many of the sons of sultans received their education in Manisa and the city is commonly known as "The City Of Shahzades - Princes" [Sehzadeler Sehri] in Turkey, a distinctive title it shares only with Amasya and Trabzon. Today, Manisa is a booming center of industry and services, advantaged by its closeness to the international port city and the regional metropolitan center of Izmir and by its fertile hinterland rich in quantity and variety of agricultural production. Formerly spreading out from the immediate slopes of the Mount Sipylus, Manisa's area of extension more than tripled in size across its vast plain in the last decade, with the construction of new block apartments, industrial zone and Celal Bayar University campus.
For the first time in 2004, and again during the period between 2006 and 07, Manisa scored as the top Turkish city in terms of cost effectiveness, transport, and overall FDI promotion strategy and development in the ranking drawn among cities across 13 European regions by the Financial Times' FDi magazine.
Manisa is also widely visited, especially during March and September festivals and for the nearby Mount Spil national park. It is also a departure point for other visitor attractions of international acclaim which are located nearby within Manisa's depending region, such as Sardes and Alasehir [ancient Philadelphia].
Izmir's proximity also adds a further dimension to all aspects of life's pace in Manisa in the form of a dense traffic of daily commuters between the two cities, separated as they are by an half-hour drive served by a fine six-lane highway nevertheless requiring attention at all times due to its curves and the rapid ascent [sea-level to more than 500 meters at Sabuncubeli Pass] across Mount Sipylus's mythic scenery.

İS 24]: Anadolu’nun eski coğrafyasını kaleme alan Amaseia’lı [Amasya] Strabon’un olgunluk döneminde, kimi araştırmacılara göre İÖ 7 yılında, kimilerine göre İS 18–19 yılları arasında yazdığı 17 kitaplık Geographika [Γεωγραφικά: Geōgraphiká: Coğrafya] Külliyatı, ilk seyahatname örneklerinden biridir. “Strabonis: Rervm Geographicarvm.

Strabo - Strabon – Strabonis [Greek: Στράβων; 63/64 BC – ca. AD 24) was a Greek historian, geographer and philosopher.
Strabo was born in a wealthy family from Amaseia in Pontus [modern Amasya Turkey], which had recently become part of the Roman Empire. His mother was Georgian. He studied under various geographers and philosophers; first in Nysa, later in Rome. He was philosophically a Stoic and politically a proponent of Roman imperialism.
Later he made extensive travels to Egypt and Kush, among others. It is not known when his Geography was written, though comments within the work itself place the finished version within the reign of Emperor Tiberius. Some place its first drafts around 7 AD, others around 18 AD.
Last dateable mention is given to the death in 23 AD of Juba II, king of Maurousia [Mauretania], who is said to have died "just recently". On the presumption that "recently" means within a year, Strabo stopped writing that year or the next (24 AD), when he died.
Strabo's History is nearly completely lost. Although Strabo quotes it himself, and other classical authors mention that it existed, the only surviving document is a fragment of papyrus now in possession of the University of Milan (renumbered [Papyrus] 46).
Several different dates have been proposed for Strabo's death, but most of them conclude that Strabo died shortly after 23 AD.

Manisa [Turc Ottoman: ماغنيسا Manisa, Grec: Μαγνησία, Latin: Magnésie] est une grande ville de Turquie sur la mer Egée et de la Région administrative siège de la province de Manisa. Historiquement, la ville a été également demandé de Magnésie, et plus précisément en Magnésie Sipylum annonce, par le nom du Mont Sipylus [Jeux Dagi: Mount Jeux] qui domine la ville. La langue anglaise racine des mots "aimant" et "magnésie», leurs dérivations, ainsi que leurs équivalents dans d'autres langues, retirent de la ville son nom. À l'époque ottomane, de nombreux fils de sultans ont reçu leur éducation en Manisa et la ville est communément appelée «La Ville de Shahzades - Princes" [Sehzadeler Sehri] en Turquie, un titre distinctif, il part seulement avec Amasya et Trabzon. Aujourd'hui, Manisa est un centre en plein essor de l'industrie et des services, favorisés par sa proximité à la ville portuaire et la région métropolitaine de centre d'Izmir et de son arrière-pays fertile riche en quantité et la variété de la production agricole. Autrefois épandage de l'exploitation immédiate des pentes du Mont Sipylus, Manisa la zone d'extension plus que triplé de taille à travers son vaste plaine au cours de la dernière décennie, avec la construction de nouveaux blocs d'appartements, zone industrielle et de Celal Bayar University Campus.
Pour la première fois en 2004, et de nouveau au cours de la période entre 2006 et 07, Manisa classé en tête des villes turques en termes de coût-efficacité, des transports et de la stratégie globale de promotion de l'IED et le développement dans le classement établi entre les villes dans 13 régions européennes en le Financial Times' Fdi magazine.
Manisa est aussi largement visité, en particulier au cours de Mars et Septembre pour les festivals et à proximité du parc national du Mont Spil. Il est également un point de départ pour d'autres sites touristiques de renommée internationale qui sont situés à proximité de Manisa, selon la région, tels que Sardes et Alasehir [ancien Philadelphie].
Izmir proximité ajoute une nouvelle dimension à tous les aspects de la vie en rythme Manisa sous la forme d'un trafic dense de navetteurs quotidiens entre les deux villes, car ils sont séparés par une demi-heure de route par une amende de six voies néanmoins exigeant attention, à tout moment, en raison de ses courbes et l'ascension rapide [niveau de la mer à plus de 500 mètres à Sabuncubeli Pass] à travers le Mont Sipylus du paysage mythique.
