Livia (Julia Augusta), Augusta, 14 - 29 A.D., Wife of Augustus and Mother of Tiberius, Augusta, Cilicia
|Cilicia|, |Livia| |(Julia| |Augusta),| |Augusta,| |14| |-| |29| |A.D.,| |Wife| |of| |Augustus| |and| |Mother| |of| |Tiberius,| |Augusta,| |Cilicia|, Augusta, Cilicia was founded in 20 A.D., and named for Livia (Julia Augusta). Just over 16 km north of Adana in a loop of the river Seyhan (Sarus), and at the west end of a narrow plain bounded to the north and south by low hills. Represented at the Council of Chalcedon in 451, the city probably did not long survive the Moslem invasion of Cilicia in the 7th century. The site, discovered by chance in 1955, was identified by ancient literary sources and from finds there, and in the neighboring village of Gübe, of Roman provincial coins naming the city. Later that same year Gübe, and with it the ruins of Augusta, disappeared below the waters of the Seyhan dam, but not before the site had been partially surveyed. Two colonnaded streets crossed each other at right angles typical of Roman towns in Cilicia. The foundations of a triumphal arch, a theater, a civic basilica, some shops, a bath building, were mapped. These structures were all of brick and mortar, and probably dated to the 3rd century.
