🔴 Arykanda and its late antique basilica in Lycia, now in the Turkish province of Attaleia (antalya in Turkish)

🔸 Arykanda is an ancient city built on five terraces in a mountain slope, some 1000 meters above sea level.

🔸 The anda-ending of its name suggests an origin in the Anatolian Bronze Age, which makes Arykanda one of the oldest Lycian cities.

🔸 However, the ruins are from a later period: from the sixth or fifth century BC to the third century AD

🔸 Like other Lycian cities, Arykanda was under Persian rule in the fifth century BCE. Alexander the Great assumed control in 333 BC

🔸 After Alexander's death, the city was ruled by - successively - the Ptolemies, the Seleucids, and Rhodes. Later, the city was a member of the Lycian League, issuing its own coins, and it became part of the Roman zone of influence
