Antigonia

Japanese: アンティゴニア - あんてぃごにあ

...The Byzantine walls surrounding the town, complete with gates and towers, are partly well preserved, but much of the former structure is in ruins.

After an earthquake in 122, Emperor Hadrian rebuilt the city, but it was briefly sacked by the Goths in 256.
