    The temple has an eventful history. It was built in the 2nd century BC as a temple of the Phrygian gods Men and Cybele. In 25 BC, Ancyra was named the capital of the Roman province of Galatia. The temple was then rebuilt and dedicated to the Roman city goddess Roma and the Emperor Augustus. In the 6th century AD, it was again converted into a Byzantine church. In 1427/28, the Hacibayram Mosque was built on the northwest wall of the temple. The temple was used as a medressa during this time. - tuerkei-antik.de/Tempel/ankara.htm
