    A new temple for the Imperial cult

    Emperor Hadrian (117-138 AD) declare Sapalassos the official centre of the Imperial Cult for the sub-province of Pisidia. This launched the city's "golden age" and a period of intensive construction. Hadrian also gave Sagalassos the honorary title of "first city of Pisidia, friend and ally of the Romans".

    A prestiges imperial temple was built on a natural promontory to the south of the town, making it visible from afar. Construction began under Hadrian himself and was completed under his successor Antoninus Pius (138-151 AD). When complete it was one of the most elaborate buildings in the city with a courtyard more than 70 meters long and porticons surrounding the whole precinct.
