In ancient geography, Pamphylia was the region in the south of
Asia Minor, between
Lycia and
Cilicia, extending from the
Mediterranean to
Mount Taurus (modern day
Antalya province,
Turkey)...
Under the Roman administration the term Pamphylia was extended so as to include Pisidia and the whole tract up to the frontiers of
Phrygia and
Lycaonia, and in this wider sense it is employed by
Ptolemy...
The first historical mention of "Pamphylians" is among the group of nations subdued by the
Mermnad kings of
Lydia; they afterwards passed in succession under the dominion of the
Persian and
Hellenistic monarchs. After the defeat of
Antiochus III in 190 BC they were included among the provinces annexed by the Romans to the dominions of
Eumenes of Pergamum...
The Pamphilians became largely hellenized in
Roman times, and have left magnificent memorials of their civilization at
Perga,
Aspendos and
Side...

Bonsoir Lazslo! je vote pour les photos 29 et 30 car ce n'est pas évident de photographier les dessins qui apparaissent sur la pierre ainsi que sur la colone, j'ai aimé l'ensemble de tes photos que tu as fait sur ce site archéologique... bien à toi... Huxusko.
Very interesting historical tour. Ancient Turkey is astounding. Very good photographs.
Bardzo interesująca historyczna wycieczka. Antyczna Turcja jest zdumiewająca. Bardzo dobre fotografie. Aspendos i Side robią wrażenie.
