caunos dalyan graves

CAUNOS
Caunos, a Hittite or Lelegian city, was hellenised in the IVth BC and became a part of the satrapy of Caria governed by Hecatomnos and his successors. After having been ruled by the successors of Alexander the Great, the city finally was freed by the Romans from the Rhodian yoke. As a Roman province, it became famous for its salt and slaves market.

The rock-tombs site one can see today has been discovered in the XIXth century but really brought to light in 1946-1952 by George Flean
