About

The archaeological site of Takina, located near the modern town of Yaralli in Burdur Province, Turkey, is a significant remnant of ancient Pisidia. This site is thought to correspond to the town referred to as Gazena by Ptolemy and Tagena in the Ravenna Cosmography. As an ancient town, it likely held various domestic and habitation structures, suggesting it was a center of settlement during the Classical Period, spanning from the early to late phases. The site's coordinates place it precisely within the region, offering a tangible link to its historical identity and significance. Although the text does not explicitly mention specific archaeological features uncovered, Takina stands as a testament to the region's ancient urban landscape.
