Pisidian Antioch was the most important colony in the eastern Roman Empire. This study traces the monumental development of the city from the 2nd century BC to Byzantine times against a backdrop of political history, and forms a sequel to the same author's "Cremna in Pisidia".

The city of Pisidian Antioch was founded in the hellenistic period by the Seleucids, in what is now south-west Turkey. Under the emperor Augustus it became the most important Roman colony of the eastern empire. The city flourished until the sixth century AD. It has left dramatic and extensive ruins. This comprehensive and fully-illustrated study, a sequel to Mitchell's Cremna in Pisidia, is based on a new survey of the site. It also includes the results of the most recent Turkish field work as well as detailed information from the important but unpublished 1924 excavation by the University of Michigan.
