A historic bridge, which dates back to the Roman period of Asia Minor history, stands in the centre of Silifke, over the Göksu River. Despite the passage of centuries, it still helps people to cross the river, in ancient times known as Calycadnus. Moreover, until recently the bridge was an important part of the D400 route, linking Mersin and Antalya. Nowadays, the locals call it Taşköprü i.e. the Stone Bridge.

The temple of Augustus and Roma in Ankara was erected after the conquest of Central Anatolia by the Roman emperor Octavian Augustus in 25 BCE. The city, then known as Ancyra, became the capital of the newly formed Province of Galatia. After the death of Augustus in 14 CE, a copy of his autobiography entitled "Deeds of the Divine Augustus" was placed on the walls of the temple both in Latin and in Greek translation. There were many such copies the Roman Empire, but nowadays the inscription from Ankara, known as the Monumentum Ancyranum, is an almost complete preserved version of the text. This fact makes it a unique source of knowledge for researchers of this period of history.
