In Greek times It was known as Parnassos or Mokissos and in the Roman times it was called Macis, and after the city was rebuilt by the Byzantine Emperor Justinian (527-565 AD), it was renamed Justinianopolis. This name was retained until the end of Byzantine rule. The city became so important during the Seljuk and Ottoman Periods.
