أصل الاسم

كانت سيليفكه تُدعى في السابق سلوقية على الكاليكادنوس — وقد ذُكِرت بأشكال مختلفة على مر القرون، مثل سلوقية [في] قيليقيا، سلوقية إيساوريا، Seleucia Trachea, and Seleucia Tracheotis —. The city took its name from its founder, King سلوقس الأول المخلص.[3] The ancient city of Olba (تركية: Oura) was also within the boundaries of modern-day Silifke. The modern name derives from the Latin Seleucia which comes from the Greek Σελεύκεια.


التاريخ

القدم

Located a few miles from the mouth of the Göksu River, Seleucia was founded by Seleucus I Nicator in the early 3rd century BCE, one of several cities he named after himself. It is probable that there were already towns called Olbia (or Olba) and Hyria and that Seleucus I merely united them giving them his name. The city grew to include the nearby settlement of Holmi (in modern-day Taşucu) which had been established earlier as an Ionian colony but being on the coast was vulnerable to raiders and pirates.[4] The new city up river was doubtless seen as safer against attacks from the sea so Seleucia achieved considerable commercial prosperity as a port for this corner of Cilicia (later named Isauria), and was even a rival of Tarsus.[3]
