Camisa

Camisa or Kamisa (Ancient Greek: τὰ Κάμισα), also known as Comassa and possibly as Eumeis, was a town of Lesser Armenia on the upper Halys River, east of modern Sivas, where the toponym survived into modern times as Kemiş.^[1][2][3] It was inhabited during Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine times.^[2] It loaned its name to the surrounding district of Camisene or Comisene; the fortress predated the building campaigns of Mithridates VI Eupator. Camisa was destroyed in Strabo's time, likely by Pompey in 66 BC.^[4] Following the Roman reorganization of the region, Mark Antony granted Kamisa and its surrounding district to Ateporix, a Galatian nobleman, who ruled until around 3 BC, after which the city was refounded as Sebastopolis.^[1] Salt was mined here in antiquity.^[3]
