Diocaesarea in Rough Cilicia is in the Uzuncaburç neighborhood, approximately 25 km north of the Silifke district of Mersin. The ancient city stands out with its well-preserved Hellenistic, Roman and Late Antique archaeological remains. During the excavations carried out in the tower, the jewelry group, which we will evaluate within the scope of the article, was found. In the group there are 1 pair of earrings, 4 bracelets, 4 necklaces, 6 necklace pendants, 1 necklace clasp ornament, and 1 necklace piece/appliqué in the form of a four-leaf clover. In this article, this jewelry group will be examined both by analogy and on the basis of the finds found with it. The jewelry was dated to the end of the 6th century AD and the beginning of the 7th century AD, both by analogy and by the Heraclius coins recovered. The fact that the Heraclius coin was found in the tower along with the valuable jewellery produced by Constantinople confirms that Diocaesarea was also under Byzantine rule during this period.
