Cilicia

Cilicia was a Roman province on the southeastern coast of Asia Minor, whose chief city Tarsus was Paul's birthplace and a noted center of Greek philosophy and learning. Jews from Cilicia had their own synagogue in Jerusalem, where members disputed with Stephen before his martyrdom. Paul revisited the region strengthening the churches on his second missionary journey, and the province is also famous for the goat's-hair cloth used in tentmaking, the trade Paul practiced.
