Ancient City located within the boundaries of Konuralp, 8 kilometers north of the province of Düzce in the Western Black Sea Region is estimated to have been founded in the 3rd century BC by Prusias who captured the town of Kieros from the Heracleans, and took its name from here. In the last quarter of the 3rd century BC, King Prusias I of Bithynia captured Kieros and gave the city its own name. Later, the name of the city was changed to "Hypios / Hypium". The city, when came under the domination of Rome in 74 BC, experienced its most brilliant period.  During this period and monumental structures were built. Ancient City Prusias ad Hypium is under the settlement named Konuralp today.
