The Roman temple at Elaioussa Sebaste (Cilicia) as case of transition between Hellenism and Romanization
The Roman temple at Elaiussa Sebaste (Cilicia) was recently excavated and the study of its architecture and architectural decoration is ongoing. The building may be considered an early example of Romanization in a region that was still autonomous and independent from the Roman empire: this part of Cilicia was actually under the rule of client kings (Archelaos of Cappadocia, Antiochos of Commagene) until the reign of Vespasian.
