Ἀσίας
Asía
Asia
A region or province in western Anatolia (modern-day Turkey), known as Asia or Asia Minor in Greco-Roman contexts. In the Koine Greek period (esp. New Testament, Acts, and related writings), the term primarily denotes the Roman province of Asia, comprising important cities such as Ephesus, Smyrna, and Pergamum. More broadly, it can refer to the western coastal and inland area of Asia Minor distinct from the wider continent of Asia known to the Greeks. The term's semantic range may include the larger concept of Asia (the continent), but in New Testament and Septuagint usage, it nearly always refers to this specific Roman province.
