Agame
The Agame (Tigrinya ዓጋመ ''ʿāgāme'', Amharic ዓጋሜ ''āgāmē'', "fruitful") is a former province in northern Ethiopia, now part of the Tigray Region. Its inhabitants include the Irob people, a region where tradition states the legendary Makeda (the Queen of Sheba) was born and raised. The aristocratic house had its capital at Adigrat.
Zalambessa is an area in Agame province that Ethiopia and Eritrea have recently fought over.〔(Statement by the Zalambesa-Irob region committee on the boundary demarcation ) (DEHAI News)〕
==History==
Agame is one of the oldest regions of Ethiopia, being part of the Kingdom of D'mt in northern Ethiopia and Eritrea that would develop into the Kingdom of Aksum.It was a main center of Aksumite culture (second only to Western Tigray, where the capital was located), with a distinct sub-culture that separated the two regions from that of Western Tigray (Shire, Axum, Yeha), Central Eritrea (Seraye, Hamasien, Akele Guzai and Adulis), and frontier areas in northern Eritrea.〔Stuart Munro-Hay, ''Aksum: An African Civilization of Late Antiquity''. Edinburgh: University Press, 1991. (Online version ) (pdf), pp. 36-37.〕〔Rodolfo Fattovich, "Some Data for the study of Cultural History in Ancient Northern Ethiopia", ''Nyame Akuma, Newsletter of the Society of Africanist Archaeologists in America'', May 1977, pp. 6-18.〕 The first mention of Agame was in the Monumentum Adulitanum of the early 3rd century, where it is listed as one of the districts conquered by the unnamed king of the inscription;〔Munro-Hay, ''Aksum'', pp. 186-7.〕〔L. P. Kirwan, ("The Christian Topography and the Kingdom of Axum", ''Geographical Journal'' ), 1972, pp. 172-3〕 however, its next mention is not until the sixteenth century in a charter written during the reign of Emperor Lebna Dengel.〔G.W.B. Huntingford, ''The historical geography of Ethiopia from the first century AD to 1704'', (Oxford University Press: 1989), p. 99〕 During medieval times, Agame was part of a larger province of Bur in Ethiopia, which also included some northeastern Afar lowlands, and the Buri Peninsula; Agame and Akkele Guzay were part of "Upper" (La'ilay) Bur, while the lowlands were further distinguished as "Lower" (Tahtay).〔"Bur" in Uhlig, Siegbert, ed.
