Claudiopolis (Ninica or Ninica Claudiopolis, modern day Mut) was an important Cilician transit trade centre, in the basin of the Calycadmus river, producing grapes, wheat, olives, figs and pomegranates. As a Roman colony it was known as Colonia Iulia Felix Augusta Ninica. Most of the city remains unexcavated and there is no archaeological activity at the site.
