The paper highlights the history and current state of the study of the Asia Minor city of Sagalass as a regional center in Pisidia – a mountainous region in the southern part of Asia Minor. The historical stages of the city's life are highlighted – pre-antique, Hellenistic, Roman. The Roman period of the city's history is specially analyzed, mainly on the basis of material culture, due to the nature of the preserved monuments. The situation with the loss of the rank of «the first city of Pisidia» by Sagalass in connection with the formation of the province of the same name, where Antioch became the capital, is assessed. In return, Sagalass received alternative accolades that preserved it as the region's informal center. The important character of the complex study of the monument, carried out by the Belgian team of scientists from the University of Louvain, is emphasized. A brief overview of the scientific bibliography on the history of Sagalass is given, which currently has more than 120 titles and 7 special collections of materials «Sagalass» (since 1993).
