It may already have known some kind of settlement from the Neolithic period onward,
but appears/or the with time in historical sources with its capture by Alexander the

The urban site was laid out on various terraces at an altitude between 1400 and
1600 m. After having suffered from a major earthquake in the early sixth century CE, the town still managed to recover, but a cocktail of epidemics, water shortages, a general lack
of security and stability, a failing economy and finally another devastating earthquake around the middle of the seventh century forced the
inhabitants to abandon their town and resettle in the valley.

The stage building of this theatre, which could seat some 9000 spectators, was completed
during 180- 210 AD.It is very unusual that the stage building was
only one story high.Despite its construction date, the theatre clearly continues the Hellenstic building tradition (horseshoe-shaped auditorium).
Contemporary buildings have a fully Roman character.
