Anemurium Anemurium, in Ancient Greek Ανεμούριον, ''Anemourion'', is an ancient city whose ruins, now called ''Eski Anamur'' or ''Anemuryum'', are close to the modern Turkish city of ''Anamur''. It was in the Roman province of Isauria and was situated near a high bluff knob (Cape Anamur) that marks the southernmost point of Asia Minor, only 64 km from Cyprus. In medieval times, it was called Stallimur.〔(Princeton Encyclopedia of Classical Sites: Anemurium )〕〔("Anemurium" in ''The Catholic Encyclopedia'' Vol. 1. New York: Robert Appleton Company, 1907 )〕 == History ==
Anemurium was already in existence in the Hellenistic period. In AD 52, it was besieged by native inhabitants of the area, and was under threat from a similar quarter in 382. Coins from its mint survive from the time of Antiochus IV of Commagene (38–72) to Valerian (253–259).〔 In 260, it was captured by the Sassanians, an event that sent Anemurium into decline for many decades,〔University of British Columbia ''Archaeology Magazine''〕 but it continued to be prosperous until the mid-7th century, when it was more or less completely abandoned, probably because the Arab occupation of Cyprus made the coast unsafe.〔
