Chamanene ( Ancient Greek: Χαμμανηνή) was an area in central Turkey during the Roman Empire, that adjoined Galatia to the north and west. [1] The area is referred to by Ptolemy, [2] Strabo [3] and Basil of Caesarea. [4] It also appears on Peutinger Table.
The district may have had its origins as a prefecture created by Archeläus of Cappadocia during Hellenistic times [3] [5] [6] [7] and give its name to the modern district of Kaman. [8] [9] [10]
Towns in the district included:
- Parassos
- Therma (Turkey) (or Justinapolis)
- Andrapa
- Galea or Gadia (Turkey)
- Zama (Turkey)
- Doara
