ATTALIA

Mediterranean seaport in Asia Minor from which the apostle Paul and Barnabas sailed back to Antioch at the end of Paul’s first missionary journey (Acts 14:25). The town was founded by Attalus II Philadelphus, king of the province of Pergamum (159–138 BC), which was taken by the Romans in 779 BC and became a senatorial province in AD 43. In Paul’s time Attalia was part of the province of Pamphylia. Today, though its harbor is shallow, it is still an important Turkish seaport (Antalya).
