Location[edit] It is usually located near Ilıca, between Erzurum and Askale.[1] Ptolemy located Elegeia at roughly the same latitude as Artaxata;[2] Pliny the Elder placed it on the Euphrates river;[3] Stephen of Byzantium indicates that Elegeia was beyond the Euphrates and that it was mentioned in book VIII of the Parthica of Arrian.[4] In any case, Elegeia was an important stage in the road to Satala at the heart of the kingdom of Armenia. History[edit] Due to its strategic location, Elegeia was often the scene of confrontations between Rome, Armenia and the Parthian or Persian empire.
