It 's great to plunge into the history of the Roman Empire.But we must remember that in their opinion "all roads lead to Rome" Side is then a small, cozy branch by their standards. Rome is certainly more informative in this culture.

In the 5th and 6th centuries, the territory of Side was completely under the rule of the Byzantine Empire. It was the heyday of Christianity. Around this time, the episcopal see of Eastern Pamphylia was formed in Side. The building shown in my photos (its ruins) was the personal residence (palace) of the bishop of the above-mentioned pulpit with a small chapel inside it. In the 7th century, most of Anatolia (especially the southern one to which Side belongs) was subjected to Arab invasion and looting. The city of Side, once exemplary cultural and rich, was deserted, and its population overpowered to the east (to Antalya). By the middle of the 8th century, Side was completely deserted. Around the residence there are a large number of necropolises from different eras: the ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine periods.
