It was the capital of the Homanades (Ὁμαναδεῖς), who, besides Homana, are said by Tacitus to have possessed 44 forts, a statement opposed to the remarks of Strabo, according to which the Homanades, the most barbarous of all Pisidian tribes, dwelt on the northern slope of the highest mountains without any towns or villages, living only in caves.

It became a bishopric; no longer the seat of a residential bishop, it remains, under the name of Homona, a titular see of the Roman Catholic Church.
