Jasonia (Pontus)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jasonia or Iasonia (Ancient Greek: Ἰασονία), also Iasonia Akropolis (Ancient Greek: Ἰασονία ἀκρόπολις), was a Greek Acropolis[1] on the Black Sea coast of ancient Pontus.[2] It was located on Cape Jasonium.[3]

The exact site of the place is unlocated.[3] Plinio El Viejo also talks about a river called Jason located near another river called Melantio, between the cities of Ambiso and Farnacia.[4]
