They observed a well-fortified Byzantine site, occupying some 60 to 70 hectares (150 to 170 acres). The town has not been excavated, although Christopher Ratté and others visited the site in 1994 and produced a sketch plan. In 1211 the city was the site of the Battle of Antioch on the Meander between the Byzantine rump Empire of Nicaea and the Seljuk Sultanate of Rûm. In 1148 the army of the Second Crusade forced a passage of the Maeander at Antioch in the face of determined Turkish resistance in the Battle of the Meander. The Venus de Milo is believed to have been sculpted by a citizen of Antioch on the Maeander, …andros (possibly Alexandros).

The city already existed when Antiochus I enlarged and renamed it. The scanty ruins are located on a hill (named, in Turkish, Yenişer) a few km southeast of Kuyucak, Aydın Province, Turkey, near the modern city of Başaran, or the village of Aliağaçiftliği.

Though it was the site of a bridge over the Maeander, it had 'little or no individual history'. The city was situated between the Maeander and Orsinus rivers near their confluence.
