Cimiata

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cimiata or Kimiata (Ancient Greek: τὰ Κιμίατα) was a hill town of ancient Paphlagonia, which gave its name to a division of Paphlagonia named Cimiatene. It was situated at the foot of the Olgassys.

Cimiata was a strong fortress located at the foot of the mountainous region of Olgassys in Paphlagonia. It was within the district called Cimiatene (Κιμιατηνή). Mithridates I of Pontus used Cimiata as a base of operations when he established himself as ruler of Pontus, and his descendants continued the dynasty down to Mithridates Eupator.[1]

Its site was previously located near Kurmalar, Asiatic Turkey.[2][3] However, view of new studies and epigraphic survey, this site is probably more located at Asar Tepe, near Deresamail village close to Eskipazar.[4]
