Epiphania (Cilicia)

*Epiphania dated their calendar from Pompey's victory over the Cilician pirates 67-66 BC.

The city was originally called Oeniandos or Oiniandos, and was located in the area of the northern tip of the Gulf of Iskenderun, on the route from Missis to Antioch.

In 66 BC, the Roman general Pompey led a campaign against the Mediterranean pirates.

According to Gibbon, Saint George was born here, in a fuller's shop[2] in the late 4th century.

Today, its ruins include the remains of walls, a temple, an acropolis, an aqueduct, and many houses, all built in basalt.
