AMO´RIUM
AMO´RIUM (
Ἀμόριον: Eth.
Ἀμοριεύς), a city of Phrygia, according to Strabo (p. 576). Its probable position can only be deduced from the Peutinger Table, which places it between Pessinus (
Bala Hissar) and Laodicea. Hamilton (
Researches, &c. vol. i. p. 451) identifies it with
Hergan Kaléh, where there are the ruins of a large city; but the present remains appear to belong to the fourth or fifth centuries of our aera.
This determination would place Amorium in Galatia.
