ANTIOCH IN PISIDIA, an ancient city, the remains of which lie close to the modern Yalovach, in the vilayet of Hami dabad in Turkey. It was situated on the lower southern slopes of the Sultan Dagh, on the right bank of a stream, the ancient Anthius, which flows into the Hoiran Geul. It was founded on the 1 territory of a Phrygian sanctuary, by Seleucus Nicator, before 28o B.C. and was made a free city by the Romans in 189 B.C. It was a thoroughly Hellenized, Greek-speaking city, in the midst of a Phrygian people, with a mixed population that included many Jews. Bef ore I I B.C. Augustus made it a colony, with the title Caesarea, and it became the centre of civil and military admin istration in south Galatia, the romanization of which was pro gressing rapidly in the time of Claudius, A.D. when Paul visited it (Acts xiii. 14, xiv. 21, xvi. 6, xviii. 23) . In 1097 the Crusaders found rest and shelter within its walls. The ruins are interesting, and show that Antioch was a strongly f ortified city of Hellenic and Roman type. There are many inscriptions in Greek and Latin, including fragments of a Latin copy of the Res Gestae of Augustus.
