Bodrum
[Late antique: Hierapolis (Hieropolis)
or Kastabala (Castabala)] is a garrison fortress with two baileys, primarily of
Armenian construction, with six rounded towers or salients. This site is above the late antique city of
Kastabala near the eastern edge of the Cilicia Pedias. It guarded two routes north to Cappadocia,
via Amuda, Kadirli, Kum, and Geben, as well as the road leading to Savranda and
the Maras-Antioch highway.
