Cabira, Archaeological site in Pontus region, Turkey.
Cabira is an archaeological site in the ancient Pontus region, located at the base of a mountain with scattered stone ruins and historical structures. The remains are distributed across several excavation areas and reveal the layouts of ancient buildings and spaces.
The settlement was founded during the reign of an ancient king who built his royal residence here and developed extensive facilities. Water systems and industrial operations alongside hunting grounds show how this place served as an important administrative and economic center.
The site contains remains of a temple dedicated to a local deity, showing how ancient people in this region practiced their faith. Religious structures like this reveal what mattered most to those who built and used this settlement.
Strong footwear and water are important when exploring the ruins, as the ground is uneven and many areas are exposed to the sun. Good shoes prevent stumbling on irregular stones, while water becomes essential during warm weather.
Ancient coins found at this site bear inscriptions confirming the settlement's name and revealing economic connections. These coins serve as evidence of trade and relationships that connected this community to other places.
