History
The area has a long history of occupation by Hittites, Phrygians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuk Turks and the Ottoman Empire. Beypazarı was known as Lagania (Λαγάνια), meaning 'rocky peak' or alternatively 'cooking pot' in the Ancient Greek language during the Ancient and Byzantine times, and the town was a regional administrative center.
Like most Luwian cities located in West Anatolia, Lagania supported the Trojans during the famous Trojan war.The area was conquered by Alexander the Great in 333 BC. It was followingly occupied Galatians namely the Tectosages . The gallic region was later (189 BC) subjected by the Romans. It became a Roman province in 25 BC, and was split into two provinces, Galatia Prima and Galatia Secunda.
The town gained importance in Christian times when it was also an episcopal see, suffragan of the Metropolis of Ancyra (modern Ankara), mentioned by the Notitiae Episcopatuum when it took the name Anastasiopolis (Ἀναστασιοῡπολις) during the reign of Emperor Anastasius I (r. 491–518) after he visited the city which he liked very much. One of its most known bishops was Theodore of Sykeon, later declared saint. No longer a residential bishopric, Lagania remains a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.
