332 IX. PHRYGIAN CITIES ON PISIDIAN FRONTIER.
Prom these stones we can determine the stages in the road-system :
(i) Manius Aquillius in 129 B.C. built a road Apameia-Kilij-Ilias-Takina
(-Keretapa ?) to defend the Asian frontier. (2) Augustus in B.C. 6 built
a ' Royal Road' connecting his series of Pisidian colonies ; one led from
Antioch by Apollonia XLVII1 to Kilij 65, Ilias 76 2, Komama CXXII
(CIL III 6974). He must have put this entire military road under the
military authority, which involved the transference of Kilij and Ilias to
province Galatia; it is highly probable that both places were originally
mere dependencies of Apameia. They remained in Galatia till 74, and
were then probably incorporated in province Pamphylia. (3) Severus,
between 198 and 209 a.d., constructed or rebuilt a series of roads, radiating
from Cibyra as centre (caput viarum) northward to Themisonion, and
eastward through the Ormelian country and past Lysinia at least as far
as the S.W. end of lake Askania. This system of roads extended over
two provinces, for 143 was found at Yarik-Keui in Sagalassian territory;
and Lysinia, a city of Pamphylia, lies on the line between Yarik-Keui
and Cibyra. But their purpose was not military, like Augustus's roads
from Antioch to the other Pisidian colonies. Pisidia had long been com-
pletely pacified and romanized; and the roads were intended for the
development of the country3. On ' Royal Road/ see Ch. in B. Emp. p. 32.
