Historical background
PHRIGIA - KIBYRA
(2nd - 1st century BC)
Cibyra was placed near the sources of the Indus in southern Phrygia. After the Peace of Apamea, Cibyra gained its autonomy and became the metropolis of a confederation made up of four cities which formed the Cabalian Tetrapolis: Cibyra, Balbura, Bubo and Oenanda. Eventually, Cibyra was incorporated into the province of Asia by the Romans in 84 BC..
