subject of excavation since 1966, is a leading archaeological site. Monuments honoring the Roman magistrates, who
shaped the political history of the city, are among the significant findings of Caunus. Twenty-four Roman monuments
have been identified for today in the busiest areas of human traffic, in the Harbour Agora and the Sanctuary of Apollo
bordering the northern edge of the Agora. These include three exedrae, of which some parts are preserved, sixteen
are cylindrical and rectangular statue bases, one is an equestrian base with orthostats, three are rectangular blocks of
undetermined purpose and one is an architrave block of a monument. After Pergamon was bequeathed to Rome by
testament, the arrangement made at the beginning of the year 129 BC, which placed Caria under the administration
of the Roman provincia Asia, we begin to see the first honorary monuments dedicated to Roman magistrates in
Caunus. The process of Romanisation began at Caunus with the end of the 2nd century BC. It is demonstrated by
the monuments honoring the magistrates such as consul, praetor, proconsul, praetor designatus, praefectus classis
and quaestors, both the Romanisation process of Caunus and its status as part of the Roman provincia Asia. The
provincia Lycia, established by Emperor Claudius in AD 43, was merged by Vespasian (AD 69-79) with Pamphylia
to form a single province called Lycia et Pamphylia. This unification must have taken place in the early 70s AD,
shortly after Vespasian’s ascension to the throne. From the early 70s AD onwards, we see the honorary inscriptions
for legati, propraetores and procuratores of the provincia Lycia et Pamphylia in Caunus. These monuments stand as
the strongest evidence that Caunus was a city of the provincia Lycia et Pamphylia, formed in AD 70.
