 <\/p>\n

The collaborative research internship at Antiochia is intended to expose St. Olaf students to archaeological methodologies as well as the cultural heritage, the history, and field practices employed by ancient historians when studying ancient cultures. The 2026 season will focus on the Early Christian and Cilcian Pirate\/Imperial Roman community at the site of Antiochia ad Cragum in Antalya province, southern Turkey. Historically, Antiochia with its harbor possibly served as one of the havens for the Cilician pirates who operated from these shores and preyed upon shipping and coastal communities of the eastern Mediterranean during the first half of the first century BCE. Pompey the Great ended the pirate scourge in 67 with a naval victory at nearby Korakesion (Alanya). No traces of Antiochia\u2019s pirate past survive among the remains visible today. The emperor Caligula ceded control of Rough Cilicia to a client-king of Rome, Antiochos IV of Kommagene, for a brief period in CE 38 before summarily deposing him; Antiochus was then restored to power in CE 41 by Emperor Claudius.\u00a0 He ruled continuously until CE 72, during which period he founded the city named after himself.\u00a0 After Antiochus was removed by Vespasian in 72 CE, the city, along with the rest of Rough Cilicia, fell under direct Roman rule as part of the enlarged Province of Cilicia.\u00a0 The city appears to have reached its greatest extent during the later Roman Empire, from the third century on.<\/p>\n
