Augusta (Cilicia)
Augusta was a town in the interior of ancient Cilicia, inhabited during Roman and Byzantine times. The name shows that it was either founded under the patronage of some Roman emperor, or a new Roman name was given to an old place. Ptolemy places this town in a district named Bryelice. The town also bore the name Augustopolis, and possibly Thebae.
Its site is located near Gübe in Asiatic Turkey.
In 431 Tarianus, Bishop of Augusta represented the town at the Council of Ephesus.
