The History of the Northeast Section of the Lykaonia Region and Its Settlements

Lykaonia region is an important ancient settlement area which includes today's Konya province and its surroundings with general lines. In the region, many historical, political, economic, social and cultural developments have taken place, and as a result, the borders of the Lykaonia region have undergone changes. Especially during the Roman period and afterwards, the eastern borders of the region were shown in the Galatia region, which led to structural and political structural differences compared to other parts of Lykaonia. The ancient cities of Savatra, Perta and Kana are important settlements reflecting the socio-cultural texture of the region, both military and religious. In these ancient cities, which constitute the important military border line of the Roman period these ancient cities increased their strategic values in the position of bishops' centers with the spread of Christianity
