The ancient city of Sebaste was founded by Roman Emperor Augustus in 20 AD, and was one of the 12 important cities of Roman Phrygia.[3] Under the Byzantine Empire, the city turned into a regional bishop seat. There are remains of Byzantine buildings from the 6th and 10th century, including two large basilicas.[3][4]
