The documents related to the Cilicians militating in the Roman army are several, but the sources speak also of stationarii, i.e. garrisons troops recruited in the Province. As one of the so-called provinciae inermes it is probable that Cilicia required a permanent garrison of no more than one full auxiliary regiment, probably the Cohors VI Hispanorum stationed at Tarsus, at least for the 1st century AD. At the same time, however, there were additional stationarii defending outposts to police strategic roads, harbours and frontiers. The need to protect the latter, for example, probably accounts for a stationarius posted at Artanada. It it highly probable that the military stelae engraved on the rocks in various locations of the territory, like Adamkalayar, Veyselli, Çanakçı, Kizkalesi are representing such soldiers.
