Apollonia ad Rhyndacus (modern day Gölyaz in NW Anatolia) was on a promontory on the NE shore of Lake Uluabat near the Rhyndacus river. Almost no remains have been preserved. Because of the numerous towns called Apollonia in Caria, Thrace, Pisidia, Illyria and Mysia, and the similarity of their inscriptions, some numismatic works can differ about which coins are from which town.
