SUMMARY
Oenoanda, the city of Lycia, in the mountainous region of Cabalitis, was identified with a site near the modern village of Incealiler, 32 km to the W-NW of Elmali. In the 2nd century BC the city belonged to the kingdom of Pergamon and then it became a member of the Tetrapolis under Cibyra. In the 1st century BC it was incorporated into the Koinon of Lycia following all the rest of its member cities. Among the most important archaeological findings is the inscription of the Epicurean philosopher Diogenes of Oenoanda, carved on a public wall and dating from the 2nd century AC. The remains of the city are impressive and include an Agora, a second open area, a theatre, baths and monumental tombs. |
