Cremna (in
Greek Κρῆμνα) was a town in
Pisidia. It was first taken by
Amyntas, commander of the
Galatian auxiliary army of
Brutus and
Cassius, who became king of Galatia and Pisidia on going over to the side of
Mark Antony.
Octavian allowed him to remain king until his death in 25 BC. After this it became a
Roman colony, as
Strabo says; and there are imperial coins with the epigraph COL. IVL. AVG. CREMNA, which stands for
Colonia Iulia Augusta [Felix] Cremnena. Its first coins appear to have been minted under
Hadrian.
Ptolemy mentions the
Cremna Colonia, and according to him it is in the same longitude as
Sagalassus.
