Relating to or characteristic of Anatolia, a region in western Asia (modern-day Turkey), or its peoples, cultures, and languages.
From Anatolia (Greek 'Anatole' meaning 'east, sunrise') plus the adjective suffix '-ic'. The region name comes from the geographic position east of Greece.
Anatolia has been home to some of history's most powerful civilizations—the Hittites, Lydians, and eventually Byzantium—making anatolic cultures the birthplace of iron weapons, coins, and some of Christianity's earliest theology.
