Camisa

Camisa or Kamisa (Ancient Greek: τὰ Κάμισα), also known as Comassa and possibly as Eumeis, was a town of Lesser Armenia, inhabited during Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine times.[1] It loaned its name to the surrounding district of Camisene or Comisene; it was destroyed in Strabo's time.[2] Salt was mined here in antiquity.[3]

Its site is located in Sivas Province Asiatic Turkey.[1][3]
