Lamus (see)


Lamus was a city and an episcopal see in the Roman province of Isauria. The see is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees. The harbour of the city was at the town of Charadros, a name that has also been used for the see.

Site

The city of Lamus was situated on the double summit of a high hill overlooking the modern village of Adanda and about above sea level. The ruins include a gate, adorned with an inscription dedicated to Gallienus and a relief of an eagle above an ox's head, and a temple of Vespasian and his son Titus.
There are scarcely any ancient remains of the harbour town of Charadros, now Kalediran.
