Descriptions
A city in northeastern Anatolia.
“An important garrison town on the eastern border, the city was founded by Theodosius
II in the first half of the 5th century. Its fortifications were further enlarged
by Anastasius and Justinian, and it was the residence of the Roman military commander
of Armenia. Joh. Eph., EH 2.20, mentions the patricius Justinian, a cousin of Justin
II, in this role in the early 570s.” 9
