Map of Nicaea

Nicaea, the name of two ancient cities. The more important of the two, now İznik, Turkey, was in Bithynia on the eastern shore of Lake Ascania. It was founded by Antigonus I, king of Macedonia, in the 4th century bc, and later flourished under the Romans. It is famous in ecclesiastical history for the two Councils of Nicaea. The other Nicaea was on the site of the modern city of Nice in France.
