Years: 621BCE - 478BCE
Order is restored in Anatolia by the Lydians, a Thracian warrior caste who dominate the indigenous peasantry and derive their great wealth from alluvial gold found in the tributaries of the Hermus River (Gediz Nehri).
Such Lydian kings as Croesus control western Anatolia from their court at Sardis until their kingdom falls to the Persians in 546 BCE.
