[1] The full title of the town was Colonia Iulia Augusta Prima Fida Comama.
The first term in this title indicates that it was founded as a colonia, an outpost established in conquered territory to secure it.
The presence of the term Augusta indicates that it was founded after 27 BC, when the Roman senate granted that title to the victorious Octavian.
[4][5] The acts of the First Council of Constantinople (381) were signed by a bishop of Comama of the province of Pamphylia named Hesychius.
[8] No longer a residential bishopric, Comama is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.
