king of See also:Pergamum; the See also:modern See also:Adalia (q.v.). It was important as the nearest seaport to the See also:rich districts of See also:south-See also:west See also:Phrygia. A much-frequented See also:half-See also:sea " route led through it to the Lycus and Maeander valleys, and so to See also:Ephesus and See also:Smyrna. This was the natural way from any See also:part of central See also:Asia See also:Minor to See also:Syria and See also:Egypt, and accordingly we hear of See also:Paul and See also:Barnabas taking See also:ship at Attalia for See also:Antioch. Originally the See also:port of See also:Perga, Attalia eclipsed the old Pamphylian See also:capital in See also:early See also:Christian times and became the See also:metropolis. There are extensive remains of the ancient walls, including some portions which go back to the See also:foundation of the Pergamenian city. The most conspicuous See also:monument is the triple See also:Gate of See also:Hadrian, flanked by a See also:tower built by the empress Julia. This lies about half-way See also:round the See also:enceinte and formerly admitted the road from Perga.
