Шаблон:Short description Augusta (Шаблон:Lang-grc[1] or Αὐγοῦστα[2]) was a town in the interior of ancient Cilicia, inhabited during Roman and Byzantine times.[3] It was founded in 20 AD and named after Livia, the widow of the Emperor Augustus.[4] Ptolemy places this town in a district named Bryelice. The town also bore the name Augustopolis, and possibly Thebae.[2]

The city probably lost its position as an important center after the Muslim invasion of Cilicia in the 7th century.[4]

Its site is located near Gübe in Asiatic Turkey.[5][2]

In 431 Tarianus, Bishop of Augusta represented the town at the Council of Ephesus.[6][7]

The ancient city, was flooded due to Seyhan Dam in 1955.[8][4] Before it disappeared under the waters of the dam the researchers managed to partially survey the site and record some buildings of the city. Among these were the foundations of a triumphal arch, two colonnaded streets crossing each other, a theater, a civic basilica, some shops, a bath building and a dam on the river.[4]
