Tranquillina, Augusta, May 241 - 25 February 244 A.D., Wife of Gordian III, Etenna, Pamphylia Prima
|Pisidia|, |Tranquillina,| |Augusta,| |May| |241| |-| |25| |February| |244| |A.D.,| |Wife| |of| |Gordian| |III,| |Etenna,| |Pamphylia| |Prima|, Etenna was a city in the late Roman province of Pamphylia Prima. Centuries earlier, it was considered within Pisidia, as by Polybius, who wrote that in 218 B.C. the people of Etenna "who live in the highlands of Pisidia above Side" provided 8000 hoplites to assist the Seleucid usurper Achaeus. There is no other mention of Etenna until the record of the participation of bishops of Etenna in the ecumenical councils of the 4th century A.D. However, there are examples of its fine silver coinage of the 4th and 3rd century B.C. and of its bronze coins from the 1st century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D. Etenna has been identified with the rather nondescript ruins on a steep hill 250-500 meters north of the modern village of Sirt, north of Manavgat, Antalya Province, Turkey. They have not been systematically excavated, but include remains of city walls, a roofed reservoir, baths, two basilicas, a church and rock tombs.
