The city was founded by Antiochus IV Epiphanes around 170 BC. It minted coins from the mid-first to the mid-third centuries, the last known of which were issued under Roman Emperor Valerian. The city became part of the kingdom of Lesser Armenia in the 12th century. In 1332, the Knights Hospitallers took the city, after which it was known variously as Antiochetta, Antiocheta, Antiocheta in Rufine (Papal bull of Pope John XXII), and Antiochia Parva.
Some scholars claim an identity of Antiochia ad Cragum with the city Cragus (Kragos), or although it lies more than 100 km away, with Sidyma, which some scholars assert was the Lycian Cragus (Kragos).[citation needed]
Ruins of the city remain, and include fortifications, baths, chapels, the Romannecropolis, a wine press, and the largest Roman mosaic found in Turkey.[1][2][3]
In 2018, latrine mosaics with dirty jokes about Narcissus and Ganymede were discovered in Antiochia ad Cragum,[4] and in 2019, a large pool mosaic was discovered near the city.[5]
The Roman Catholic Diocese of Antiochia Parva is no longer a residential bishopric. It is today listed as a suppressed and titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.[7][8] The seat is vacant since April 11, 1964. It was held previously by:
Jacques-Eugène Louis Ménager (June 23, 1955 – December 7, 1961)
André-Jean-Marie Charles de la Brousse (January 26, 1962 – April 11, 1964)[notes 1]
