It was first taken by Amyntas, commander of the Galatian auxiliary army of Brutus and Cassius, who became king of Galatia and Pisidia on going over to the side of Mark Antony. Octavian allowed him to remain king until his death in 25 BC.〔Strabo, ''Geographia'', (xii. 7. )〕 After this it became a Roman colony, as Strabo says; and there are imperial coins with the epigraph COL. IVL. AVG. CREMNA, which stands for ''Colonia Iulia Augusta () Cremnena''. Its first coins appear to have been minted under Hadrian. Ptolemy mentions the ''Cremna Colonia'', and according to him it is in the same longitude as Sagalassus.〔Ptolemy, ''Geographia'', v. 5.〕 The ''donatio'' given by the emperor Aurelian (270–275) promised a period of great prosperity for Cremna; but in 276 the town was taken by an Isaurian robber, named Lydius, who used it as a base for looting the region,〔Zosimus, ''Historia Nova'', (i. 69. )〕 giving rise to the only visit of a Roman Emperor to the region, that of Marcus Claudius Tacitus.〔(John D. Grainger, ''The Cities of Pamphylia'' (Oxbow Books 2009 ISBN 978-1-78297295-2) )〕 Later, the town was inserted in the Roman province of Pamphylia Secunda. The name of only one of its bishops is known: Theodorus, present at the Second Council of Nicaea in 787.〔Michel Lequien, (''Oriens christianus in quatuor Patriarchatus digestus'' ), Paris 1740, Vol. I, coll. 1025-1026〕〔Raymond Janin, v. ''Cremna'', in (''Dictionnaire d'Histoire et de Géographie ecclésiastiques'' ), vol. XIII, Paris 1956, col. 1019〕 No longer a residential bishopric, Cremna is today listed by the Catholic Church as a titular see.〔''Annuario Pontificio 2013'' (Libreria Editrice Vaticana 2013 ISBN 978-88-209-9070-1), p. 876〕 At some time in the high Middle Ages the ancient site of the town was abandoned, the population transferring itself to the present village of Çamlık. The ancient site of Cremna was identified in the district of Bucak in 1874, and excavations began in 1970. It stands on a hill dominating the ancient Cestrus River (today Aksu); very few of the site's old buildings are still standing, generally consisting of heaps of stone.〔''Princeton Encyclopedia'', "Kremna".〕 ==References== *Smith, William (editor); ''Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography'', ("Cremna" ), London, (1854) *Richard Stillwell, William L.
