During the time of Paul, this city was known as the home of Aphrodite and a great port for ships. Today it is known for their many bird sightings and their archeological find of a 4th century B.C. theater. The University of Sydney has been taking excavation teams over to Paphos to dig up this amazing find. The Nea Paphos Hellenistic Theater is on the north-east corner of this ancient city. While in Paphos, Paul and Barnabas encountered a blind, false, prophet named Bar-Jesus. Bar-Jesus was ordered by Sergius Paulus to see what Paul and Barnabas were actually preaching about. Bar-Jesus hated the gospel and tried to get the people not to believe what Paul was telling them. Paul, who was filled with the holy spirit, tore out the blindness to this false prophet. This miracle was the cause for many of the people to believe. Antioch of Pisidia is a city in the country of Galatia. The circumference of Pisidia is 120 miles west to east.
