'''Samosata''' ({{IPAc-en|s|ə|ˈ|m|ɒ|s|ə|t|ə}}; [[Ermenice]]: {{lang|xcl|Շամուշատ}}, ''Shamushat'', {{lang-grc|Σαμόσατα}} ''Samósata'', {{lang-syr|ܫܡܝܫܛ}} ''šmīšaṭ'')<!-- was an ancient city on the right (west) bank of the [[Euphrates]], whose ruins exist at the previous location of the modern city of [[Samsat, Turkey|Samsat]], [[Adıyaman Province]], [[Turkey]] but are no longer accessible as the site was flooded by the newly constructed [[Atatürk Dam]]. Even though the city had a predominantly Syriac-speaking population, [[Hellenistic culture]] played an important role there.<ref>[https://books.google.nl/books?id=oZcr7SzzVYYC&pg=PA214&dq=samasota+syriac&hl=nl&sa=X&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAjgKahUKEwimx7Oh74jHAhXKVRQKHemWAFs#v=onepage&q=samasota%20syriac&f=false A Journey to Palmyra (p. 114)]</ref> The city is sometimes confused with [[Arsamosata]].

As Antiochia in Commagene, it served as the capital for the [[Hellenistic]] kingdom of [[Commagene]] from c. 160 BC until it was surrendered to [[Rome]] in 72. A civil metropolis from the days of Emperor [[Hadrian]], Samosata was the home of the [[Legio VI Ferrata]] and later [[Legio XVI Flavia Firma]], and the terminus of several military roads.

 

It was at Samosata that [[Julian the Apostate|Julian II]] had ships made in his expedition against [[Shapur II|Sapor]], and it was a natural crossing-place in the struggle between [[Heraclius]] and [[Khosrau I of Persia|Chosroes]] in the 7th century.
