Augusta ancient site which is located in Adana province of Turkiye was one of the best known ancient sites due to the historical records.

This ancient site was unearthed in 1950’s and then Seyhan Dam construction started. So the archeaologists had a short time to save the ancient site.

According to the historical records, the ancient site was recorded till 8th century AD.
