Lysinia
Lysinia ( Greek Λυσινία , in the handwritten tradition also Λυσινόη Lysinoe ) was an ancient city in the Pisidia region of Asia Minor on the border with Pamphylia near today's village of Karakent in Turkey.
The city is first mentioned for the year 189 BC. Mentioned in the depiction of the campaign of Gnaeus Manlius Vulso in the Roman-Seleucid war by the historians Polybios and Titus Livius .
During the Roman imperial period under Septimius Severus , Lysinia minted its own coins. In late antiquity the city was the seat of a bishop. The titular diocese of Lysinia of the Roman Catholic Church goes back to the diocese .
The ruins of the city are located on the Üyevik Burnu hill on the western side of Lake Burdur . Several terraces and the base of a statue for Hadrian are preserved (a tribute to Marcus Aurelius was found in Karakent). There are no remains of a city wall. Ceramic and architectural parts were found at the foot of the hill.
