Anatolia Klasik
Anatolia, yang juga dikenal dengan nama Latin Asia Kecil, dianggap sebagai wilayah paling barat Asia. Secara geografi, wilayah tersebut meliputi dataran tinggi tengah Turki modern, dari dataran pesisir Laut Aegean di bagian timur sampai pegunungan di perbatasan Armenia dari dari pesisir sempit Laut Hitam di bagian selatan sampai pegunungan Taurus dan pesisir Laut Tengah.
Perwakilan kebudayaan terawal di Anatolia adalah artefak-artefak Zaman Batu. Reruntuhan perabadan Zaman Perunggu seperti bangsa Hattian, Akkadian, Asiria, dan Hittite menyediakan beberapa contoh hidupan sehari-hari warganya dan perdagangan mereka. Setelah kejatuhan Hittite, negara-negara baru Phrygia dan Lydia berdiri kuat di pesisir barat saat peradaban Yunani mulai tersebar. Hanya ancaman dari kerajaan Persian yang menghindarkan mereka dari memajukan puncak kesuksesan mereka di masa lampau.
