Claudius, 25 January 41 - 13 October 54 A.D., Pessinus, Galatia
|Galatia|, |Claudius,| |25| |January| |41| |-| |13| |October| |54| |A.D.,| |Pessinus,| |Galatia|, The temple of the imperial cult at Pessinus was Tiberian, but the decorative sculpture was conservative Augustan, suggesting the building may have been designed in the late Augustan period, c. 15 A.D. The temple was decommissioned the end of the 4th century. Perhaps as a sign of the rise of Christianity in Pessinus, Julian the Apostate made a pilgrimage there and wrote an angry letter concerning disrespect shown to the sanctuary of Cybele. In c. 398, Pessinus was established as the capital of the new province of Galatia Salutaris, and became the seat of a metropolitan bishop. In late 715 A.D., Pessinus was destroyed by an Arab raid. The area was lost to the Seljuk Turks late in the 11th century, after which Pessinus became an inconspicuous gradually depopulating mountain village.
