Rise and Fall of SagalassosIn 189 B.C. Roman armies under the command of Cn. Manlius Vulso marched against the Gauls of Asia Minor. Their journey took them through the territory of the Sagalassians, whose city, Sagalassos, was one of the wealthiest in the region of Pisidia. Located on alpine terraces beneath two mountain peaks known today as the Tekne Tepe and the Cincinkirik Tepe, it was divided into an upper and a lower city, each with an agora surrounded by porticoes and public monuments. Despite its splendor, Sagalassos is rarely mentioned by Roman historians. By the thirteenth century it had disappeared entirely from written records, its ruins and even its name forgotten.

The Turks seem to be doing better at preserving pre-Islamic artifacts than they used to, and better than the mesopotamians and north Africans not in Egypt.
