  • Perge was originally an ancient Lycian settlement that later became a Greek city in Pamphylia. It was the capital of the Roman province of Pamphylia Secunda, now located in Antalya Province on the southwestern Mediterranean coast of Turkey. Today its ruins lie 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) east of Antalya.
    Asia Minor is the place where the continents of Asia and Europe meet. It is also known by its Greek name, Anatolia. In the past Asia Minor was a meeting point for travelers passing between Asia and Europe. Today it is part of the country of Turkey.
    Asia Minor is a peninsula, or a piece of land surrounded by water on three sides. The Black Sea lies to the north. The Aegean Sea lies to the west. The Mediterranean Sea is to the south. The peninsula extends westward from Asia toward Europe.
    People called the Hittites had a kingdom in Asia Minor from about 1700 to 1180 bce. The Assyrians, the Persians, the Greeks, and the Romans later ruled the peninsula. When the Roman Empire split in 395 ce, Asia Minor became part of the eastern empire. This became known as the Byzantine Empire. In the 1400s Turks conquered the peninsula and added it to the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Empire lasted until 1922. In 1923 Asia Minor became the Asian part of the Republic of Turkey
