Via Sebaste

Its starting point (caput viae) was Pisidian Antioch on the central plateau, and it ran over the Taurus Mountains, through the Climax Pass (now Döşeme Boğazı) down to Perga on the coast.

[1] The Via Sebaste was the key to Roman control of Pisidia and its incorporation into the province of Galatia.

It was completed in 6 BC by the Galatian governor Cornutus Arruntius Aquila.

It was about 6 to 8 metres (20 to 26 ft) wide and capable of carrying wheeled traffic the whole way from Perga to Antioch.

In the Byzantine or Ottoman period, it was narrowed to 3 to 3.5 metres (9.8 to 11.5 ft) and stepped over the mountains.
