According to discoveries arising out the excavations, Side was ruled by the Ptolemaics of Egypt in the third century BC and later by the Assyrian Kingdom. In 188 BC “Side”gained its indepence, but was later annexed to the Galata Kingdom in 78 BC, but then in 25 BC Side gained its independence again.
