Augusta (Cilicia)

[2] The city probably lost its position as an important center after the Muslim invasion of Cilicia in the 7th century.

[5][2] In 431 Tarianus, Bishop of Augusta represented the town at the Council of Ephesus.

[8][4] Before it disappeared under the waters of the dam the researchers managed to partially survey the site and record some buildings of the city.

Among these were the foundations of a triumphal arch, two colonnaded streets crossing each other, a theater, a civic basilica, some shops, a bath building and a dam on the river.
