Selge was an ancient city located in the Pamphylian region of Anatolia, modern-day Turkey. It was founded in the 5th century BC by indigenous peoples of Anatolia, but later became part of the Lycian League in the 2nd century BC.
The city was known for its strategic location in the Taurus Mountains, which allowed it to control trade routes and defend against invasions. It was also known for its impressive fortifications, including a large wall with towers and gates.
Selge had a democratic government, with citizens electing officials to serve for a limited time. The city was also a center of worship for the god Zeus, and had a large temple dedicated to him.
The city declined in the Roman period, and was eventually abandoned in the 7th or 8th century AD due to Arab invasions. Today, visitors can still see the ruins of the city, including the fortifications, temple, theater, and many inscriptions in the Lycian language.
