At the center of Thecla's cult site near Seleucia on Calycadnus there is a cave that is usually taken as being the spot from which the whole cult site developed. It will be argued here that the cave is not the origin of Thecla's cult site but instead was discovered and integrated into the cult during the fifth century.
