In the New Testament, it is mentioned as a Roman province known for its strategic location and as the birthplace of the Apostle Paul. Cultural and Historical Background: Cilicia was a significant region in the ancient world, known for its fertile plains and strategic coastal position along the Mediterranean Sea. It was a melting pot of various cultures, including Greek, Roman, and local Anatolian influences.
