Reference: SNG Paris 739. SNG von Aulock 4775. Side was a major port of Pamphylia, linking southern Anatolia with Cyprus, Egypt and the Aegean. Its inhabitants preserved the local Sidetic language alongside growing Greek cultural influence. The pomegranate, a familiar emblem on its coins, alluded to the city’s name, while Athena and Apollo were its principal deities. Under Roman rule, maritime commerce sustained a flourishing city whose theatre and monumental temples still survive.
