Ancient Cilicia – both the Eastern fertile plain (Cilicia Piana or Pedias) and the Western rough area (Cilicia Aspera or Tracheia) – was a key crossroads of people and cultures, in a crucial point between East and West. Due to its strategic geographic position connecting Anatolia and Syria and to the presence the Mediterranean coast to the South, the region was characterised by manifold processes of mobility, migrations and interchanges between people and cultures throughout its history.

A considerable amount of new data, both archaeological and epigraphic, were discovered during the Italian excavations at the site of Barāqish (ancient Minaean Yathil). The present paper discusses the most relevant additions to our knowledge base as a result of those excavations, particularly in relation to the succession of kings in Maʿīn during the 5th and 4th centuries BC. At this time, the kingdom arrived at its apogee under the reigns of Abīyadaʿ Yathaʿ and his son, Waqihʾil Riyām.
