Özet
A small temple surrounded with Temenos walls has been discovered with the ground researches in 2013-2014 in Keraitai ancient city, where was about 8-9 km in the northwest of Kremna. That temple was designed with the Antis plan, like other temples in many cities within Pisidia region. The significance of the temple is that it was devoted to Men, as evidenced with both an epigraph found in the city and its rock relief of Men found in the vicinity. Keraitai people used to worship to Men, the god of moon with the epithet of Men Keraiton as it has been inferred from the content of epigraph. Therefore, this structure has been the first and important finding to indicate that there was a second temple in the region belonging to Men following the temple of Men in Pisidia Antiocheia.
