Abstract :The article discussed here deals with a milestone whose location is unknown, but which is understood to have been erected 1.5 km away from the city center of Cibyra, based on the two inscriptions it bears. The milestone in question has two inscriptions indicating two different uses. Both inscriptions are written in Ancient Greek. While the first inscription dates to the Severan Period (AD 198-209), the latter belongs to the period of First Tetrarchy (AD 293-305). Both inscriptions give the city of Cibyra as caput viae and record the same distance. Thus, it is determined that the same milestone is reused after ca. hundred years. In the article, the routes related to Cibyra and the milestones that give Cibyra as caput viae are also discussed. In both uses, the milestone in question refers to repair and regulation works. This situation can be associated with the eastern campaigns during the Severan Period and the reconstruction efforts carried out during the Diocletianic Era.
