Pisidia

Pisidia was a mountainous region of south-western Anatolia, north of Pamphylia in the Taurus mountains. Its warlike people long resisted Persian and Hellenistic rulers, and the Romans founded colonies there such as Pisidian Antioch, visited by the apostle Paul. It later became a Roman and Byzantine province.
