Antiochia ad Pyramum was an ancient coastal city of Cilicia, on the Pyramus river, in Anatolia. The location of the city is on the Karata Peninsula, Adana Province, Turkey, a few km from the city of Karata. The course of the Pyramus has changed markedly since ancient times and the location of the ruins is no longer adjacent to the river, but decidedly west of its present course. The formerly important ancient site of Mallus lies a few km inland from Antiochia ad Pyranum along the former course of the Pyramus.
