Amorium, Archaeological site in Emirdağ, Turkey
The archaeological excavation spans two areas: Upper City with Byzantine walls and Lower City enclosed by protective fortifications and defense walls.
During the Byzantine period, three emperors from Amorium ruled for 47 years: Michael II, Theophilos, and Michael III between 820 and 867.
The city served as a military headquarters for Byzantine forces in Anatolia from 640 CE and later became the capital of the Anatolikon Theme.
The site lies 70 kilometers northeast of Afyonkarahisar city, 12 kilometers east of Emirdağ, and 180 kilometers southwest of Ankara.
Amorium held the distinction of being among the first cities in Eastern Phrygia authorized by the Roman Senate to mint its own currency.
