Özet
Ege ve Akdeniz Bölgelerinden İç Anadolu’ya geçiş kavşağında bulunan Pisidia Antiokheiası, Hellenistik, Roma İmparatorluk ve Bizans Dönemlerinde askeri kent olma özelliğini yitirmemiştir. Önemli bir yol kavşağında bulunan ve Hristiyanlığın haç merkezlerinden biri olan Antiokheia’nın isminin, Miryakefalon savaşını anlatan kroniklerden geçmemesi irdelenmiş ve Bizans ordusunun kullanmış olabileceği diğer yollar belirtilmiştir. Anadolu’nun Selçuklu egemenliğine geçmesini sağlayan Miryokefalon savaşının geçtiği düşünülen Kumdanlı ve Gelendost Yenice Boğazının konumları tartışılmış ve savaşın, Antiokheia yakınlarında olmadığı sonucuna varılmıştır.
