Five Corinthian capitals have been identified from the ancient city of Isaura, the capital of the Isaura Region, in the nearby villages Işıklar and Hacılar. The identification of these architectural blocks suggests that at least two monumental buildings are likely to be found upon excavation of Isaura. The capitals numbered KB1, KB2 and KB3 belong to the same building. It is noteworthy that the KB4 capital is made of marble and also has quality workmanship. The forms of the capitals found in the Isaura area suggest that they had been at a local school, under the influence of the Aphrodisias Decoration School. Based on certain features of style, these Corinthian capitals should be dated to the late Antonine period and early Severan period. Therefore, this indicates an increase in construction activities parallel to the increased political stability and rising level ofprosperity in Isaura in the last quarter of the 2nd century AD and the first years of the 3rd century AD.
Antik dönemde Isauria Bölgesi'nin merkezini oluşturan Isaura antik kentinden yakın çevresindeki Işıklar ve Hacılar köyüne taşınmış beş korinth başlığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu mimari bloklar, Isaura antik kentinde yapılacak olan kazı çalışmalarında açığa çıkması muhtemel, korinth düzeninde inşa edilmiş en az iki farklı yapının varlığını ortaya koymaktadır. KB1, KB2 ve KB3 no'lu başlıkların boyutları ve işçiliği, bunların aynı yapıya ait olduğunun göstergesidir. Daha küçük boyutlu olan KB4 no'lu başlık ise hem mermer olması hem de kaliteli işçiliği bakımından dikkat çekicidir. Isaura çevresinde bulunan korinth başlıklarının biçimi, bunların Aphrodisias Dekorasyon Okulu'nun etkisinde, yerel bir atölye tarafından şekillendirildiğini göstermektedir. Korinth başlıkları stil özellikleri bakımından Geç Antoninler-Erken Severuslar Dönemi'ne tarihlenmektedir. Bu da bölgede yaşanan siyasi istikrar ve refah düzeyine paralel olarak Isaura antik kentinde özellikle MS 2.yy'ın son çeyreği ile MS 3.yy'ın başlarında imar faaliyetlerinde artış olduğunun göstergesidir.
