Tricomia (Phrygia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tricomia or Trikomia (Ancient Greek: Τρικωμία) was a town in the eastern part of ancient Phrygia, inhabited during Roman and Byzantine times.[1] It was on the road from Dorylaeum to Apamea Cibotus,[2] and is placed by the Peutinger Table at a distance of 28 Roman miles from Midaeum and 21 from Pessinus.[3]

Its site is tentatively located near İlkburun in Asiatic Turkey, by some authors,[1] but left unlocated by others.[4]
