As a Roman colony it was called Julia Augusta Parlais, and money was coined under this title.[1]Ptolemy[2] calls it Paralais and places it in Lycaonia (also in Asia Minor). Kiepert identified it with Barla, in the Ottoman vilayet of Koniah, but W. M. Ramsay[3] believes that it is contained in the ruins known as Uzumla Monastir. Modern scholars follow Kiepert.[4]
