Summary edit

Description
English: I use the name Roman Temple, as the proper name is unclear. That is, many sources call this a Jupiter temple. But other sources speak of a temple for Apollo Sarpedonios, Sarpedon being a son of Zeus. Even the city itself, on the Belediye site, hesitates and explains: “The temple, located in the city center and the column bases on the east and south sides were preserved in their original form, had 14 columns each on the long side and 8 columns each on the short side. However, only one of these columns with Corinthian caps, each of which is 10 meters long, has survived, and 3 of them are on the ground in a collapsed state. Excavations initiated by the Ministry of Culture in 1980 continue at intervals. The temple, which is understood to have been built in the 2nd century, was converted into a church by making significant changes in its plan in the 5th century. The historian Zosimos, who lived in the 5th century, says, "The temple was built as an expression of gratitude to Apollo, when the locusts were destroyed by a flock of birds sent by Apollo, by the people who asked for help from Apollo, the God of the Sun and Art, to get rid of the locusts that infested the crops on the plain." It is also said that it was built in the name of Zeus.”
