Colophon which was one of the twelve cities of Ionian League, is today located in Deirmedere in the Menderes district of Izmir Province. Ancient sources and archaeological proofs reveal the importance the musical instruments and the musicians for Colophon. Archaeological findings with the representation of stringed instruments are composed of the balance weights, coins and terracotta figurines. Among those findings, the weights found in Deirmendere has a special importance in terms of bearing the representation of tortoise shell-lyre which was the symbol of the city. However, on the coins of Colophon the cithara instead of the lyre is existed as the symbol (parasemon) of the city. Other findings related with the music from the sanctuary of Claros are the terracotta figurines and the fragments of tortoise shell-lyre. In addition, ancient writers give information about the music and musicians of Colophon. In the history of the city another important issue is the trade of colophony which acquired from the pines of the district. Colophony (colophonia resina) is still used for increasing friction of stringed musical instruments. The relation between colophony and stringed instruments may be indicate the same relation in antiquity. Lyre and kithara, the two symbols of the city, which are the same fundamentally but different functionally, indicate two different use in social and religious life. The most complicated ancient instrument kithara as a symbol of god Apollo refers to Claros, lyra as a symbol of the educational and daily use of music refer to Colophon. In any case stringed instruments should have had a very high value in the history of Colophon
