Antiochia ad Pyramum (Ancient Greek:Ἀντιόχεια πρὸς τὸν Πύραμον) was an ancient coastal city ofCilicia, on thePyramus (also Pyramos, now theCeyhan Nehri) river, inAnatolia. It was the successor settlement toMagarsa.[1] The location of the city is on theKarataş Peninsula,Adana Province,Turkey, a few kilometers from the city of Karataş. The course of thePyramus has changed markedly since ancient times and the location of theruins is no longer adjacent to the river, but decidedly west of its present course. The formerly important ancient site ofMallus lies a few kilometers inland from Antiochia ad Pyranum along the former course of the Pyramus.
