==Geography==
By the Hellenistic and Roman periods, the city was named Tyana, which was derived from its earlier Hittite name.
===Location===
The location of the Hittite Tūwanuwa/Neo-Hittite Tuwana/Classical Tyana corresponds to the modern-day town of [[Kemerhisar]] in [[Niğde Province]], [[Turkey]].{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=726–727}}{{sfn|Weeden|2010|p=56}}{{sfn|Weeden|2023|p=921}}{{sfn|Aro|2023|p=114}}


==Location==
===Surroundings===
The region around Tyana, which corresponded to roughly the same area as the former Iron Age kingdom of Tuwana, was known in Classical Antiquity as Tyanitis.{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=148}}{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=284}}{{sfn|Weeden|2017|p=722}}
The location of Tyana corresponds to the modern-day town of [[Kemerhisar]] in [[Niğde Province]], [[Turkey]].

The region around Tyana was known as Tyanitis, and it corresponded to roughly the same area as the former Iron Age kingdom of Tuwana, which extended to the [[Cilician Gates]] and the kingdom of [[Quwê]] in the south, and in the north was bordered by the region of [[Tabal]], which is sometimes considered part of Tuwana.

[[File:Map Hittite rule en.svg|thumb|left|250px|The Hittite Empire, with {{transl|hit|Tūwanuwa|italics=no}} located in the [[Lower Land]].]]
Tyana is the city referred to in [[Hittites|Hittite]] archives as ''Tuwanuwa''. During the Hittite Empire period in mid 2nd millennium, Tuwanuwa was among the principal settlements of the region along with Hupisna, Landa, Sahasara, Huwassana and Kuniyawanni.<ref>Bryce, Trevor R; 2003. in C. Melchert (ed.) ''The [[Luvians]]''. Leiden: Brill Academic Publishers: 47</ref> This south-central Anatolian region was referred to as the Lower Land in Hittite sources and its population was mainly [[Luvians|Luwian]] speakers.<ref>Singer, Itamar; 1981. [[Hittites]] and [[Hattians]] in Anatolia at the Beginning of the Second Millennium B.C. ''Journal of Near Eastern Studies'' 9: 119-134.</ref>
The city of Tūwanuwa was first mentioned in the texts of the [[Hittites|Hittite Empire]], as a city located in southeastern Anatolia, in the northern regions of the [[Lower Land]]. According to the [[Telipinu Proclamation|{{transl|en|Telipinu Proclamation}}]], Tūwanuwa was part of the territories that the 17th century BC founder-king of the Hittite Old Empire, [[Labarna I]], had conquered and which his sons divided among each other and established their rule there.{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=726}}{{sfn|Mouton|2014|p=249}}


According to later Hittite sources, Tūwanuwa was an important cult centre,{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=726–727}} and its local pantheon was headed by the Storm-god [[Tarḫunz|Tarḫunzas]] of Tūwanuwa and his consort, the goddess Šaḫḫaššara of Tūwanuwa.{{sfn|Singer|Hoffner|2002|p=89}}{{sfn|Taracha|2009|p=117}}

During the reign of the Hittite Middle Empire's king [[Tudhaliya III]], the cities of Tūwanuwa and [[Hyde (Cappadocia)|Uda]] had become border towns of the forces of [[Arzawa]] after it had invaded the Lower Land.{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=727}}{{sfn|Mouton|2014|p=249}} Tūwanuwa itself was attacked by Arzawa, and Hittite records of this development associated Tūwanuwa with the town of Tupazziya and Mount Ammuna. Hittite descriptions of the city suggest that Tūwanuwa itself might have been located on a hill or a mountain at this time.{{sfn|Mouton|2014|p=249}}

The prince [[Šuppiluliuma I|Suppiluliuma]] fought a battle against the Arzawan forces near Tūwanuwa and recaptured Tūwanuwa, which then became a base from which the Hittite forces reconquered the Lower Land from Arzawa.{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=727}}

Several Hittite texts associated Tūwanuwa with the cities of [[Nenašša]] and [[Ḫupišna]], attesting that they were located close to each other. The city of [[Purushanda|Purušḫattum]] was also located close to Tūwanuwa.{{sfn|Mouton|2014|p=249}}

====Kingdom of Tuwana====
Following the collapse of the Hittite Empire, the city of Tuwana became the centre the Iron Age [[Luwians|Luwian]] kingdom of Tuwana in southern [[Anatolia]], one of the [[Syro-Hittite states]], which existed in southeastern Anatolia in the 8th century BC.
After the collapse of the Hittite Empire, Tūwanuwa became the centre of the [[Luwian language|Luwian]]-speaking [[Syro-Hittite states|Syro-Hittite state]] of Tuwana{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=726}} in the [[Tabal (region)|region of Tabal]], in whose southernmost regions it was located.{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=148}}{{sfn|Weeden|2023|p=921}}

=====Location=====
It is not certain whether or not it was initially subject to the [[Tabal]] kingdom to its north, but certainly by the late 8th century BC it was an independent kingdom under a ruler named [[Warpalawas|Warpalawa]] (in Assyrian sources Urballa).<ref>Bryce, Trevor R; 2003. in C. Melchert (ed.) ''The [[Luvians]]''. Leiden: Brill Academic Publishers: 97-8</ref> He figures in several hieroglyphic [[Luwian hieroglyphs|Luwian inscriptions]] found in the region, including a monumental rock carving in [[Ivriz]].<ref>[http://www.hittitemonuments.com/ivriz/ www.hittitemonuments.com/ivriz]</ref> Warpalawa is also mentioned in Assyrian texts, under the name Urballa, first in a list of tributees of Assyrian king [[Tiglath-Pileser III|Tiglath Pileser III]] and later in a letter of [[Sargon II]].<ref>Bryce, Trevor R; 2003. in C. Melchert (ed.) ''The [[Luvians]]''. Leiden: Brill Academic Publishers: 98</ref> Warpalawa was probably succeeded by his son Muwaharani whose name appears in another monument found in [[Niğde]].<ref>[http://www.hittitemonuments.com/nigde/ www.hittitemonuments.com/nigde]</ref>
The kingdom of Tuwana was located in southern [[Cappadocia]] and covered the territory located in the present-day [[Niğde Province|province of Niğde]] in Turkey,{{sfn|Aro|2013|p=388-389}} lying to the east of the [[Konya Plain]] and the Obruk Plateau across [[Lake Tuz]] and the Melendiz Mountains until the [[Mount Hasan|Hasandağ]] volcano to the north,{{sfn|Weeden|2023|p=921}}{{sfn|Weeden|2023|p=1000}} where the Erdaş and Hodul mountains formed its northern boundary by separating it from the [[Tabal (state)|kingdom of Tabal]],{{sfn|Weeden|2023|p=921}} while to the south it extended to the south until the [[Cilician Gates]]{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=729}}{{sfn|Weeden|2023|p=1000}} so that Tuwana was the first area travellers would reach after leaving [[Ḫiyawa]] to the north by passing through the Cilician Gates to cross the Taurus Mountains.{{sfn|Weeden|2023|p=921}} Tuwana thus corresponded to the region which later in Classical Antiquity was called Tyanitis.{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=729}}{{sfn|Weeden|2017|p=722}}{{sfn|Weeden|2017|p=724}}


Tuwana was therefore located in the southern Tabalian region,{{sfn|Weeden|2023|p=722}} of which it was the largest and most prominent kingdom, with its territory consisting of several settlements surrounding the royal capital at the city of Tuwana,{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=726}}{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=148}} although the city of Naḫitiya (modern [[Niğde]]; possibly Hittite period Naḫita{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=494}}) might have temporarily acted as capital under the reign of the king Sarruwannis.{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=148–149}} Another important settlement in Tuwana was the location known in Classical Antiquity as [[Tynna]] and presently as Porsuk-Zeyve Höyük.{{sfn|Weeden|2023|p=1000}}
At this time, Tabal and Tuwana were tributaries of the [[Assyrian Empire]] of [[Tiglath-Pileser III]]. Simultaneously, strong influence from the kingdom of [[Mushki]], ruled by King Mita (who is often identified with [[Midas]] of Phrygia, known from Greek sources) is evident. The Phrygian evidence is seen in two [[Old Phrygian]] inscriptions, which were found in Kemrhisar, and by bronze objects of clear Phrygian origin in a tumulus at Kaynarca, seven kilometres northeast of Tyana. In a letter of 715 BC, [[Sargon II]] describes how King Mita of Mushki had sent emissaries to the Assyrian governor in Quwê, Ašur-Šarru-Usur, asking for an exchange of ambassadors. The accompanying ambassadors of Warpalawas II (Akkadian: Urballa) are there described as messengers of one of Mita's vassals. A report of Ašur-Šarru-Usur to Sargon II indicates that Warpalawas conquered ''Bit Burutaš'' (part of Tabal) in 713 BC after King [[Ambaris]] of Tabal had been deposed and deported to Assyria. [[İvriz relief]] a stele of [[Tarḫunz]] with a Luwian-Phoenician bilingual text, which was found in 1986, shows that the North-Syrian Aramaic cultural area had a strong influence on the area as well. The [[Niğde Stele]], which was erected by Warapalawas’ son, Muwaharani II, is clearly modelled on Assyrian steles. In the subsequent period, when both the Phrygian kingdom and the kingdom of [[Urartu]] to the east fell to the [[Cimmerians]], there are no further traces of Tuwana.


By the 8th century BC, Tuwana's territory included the Mount Mudi,{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=152}} which was likely identical with the "alabaster mountain," Mount Mulî, which the Neo-Assyrian king [[Shalmaneser III]] climbed and from where he extracted [[alabaster]] during his campaign in the Tabalian region in 837 BCE. The name {{transl|akk-x-neoassyr|Mulî}} ({{lang|akk-x-neoassyr|{{cuneiform|11|𒈬𒇷𒄿}}}}<ref>{{cite web |title=Mulu [1] (GN) |url=http://oracc.org/armep/cbd/qpn/x000127670.html |website=Ancient Records of Middle Eastern Polities |series=[[Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus]] |publisher=[[Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich]] }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Muli [MOUNT MULI] (GN) |url=http://oracc.org/riao/sig?%E2%98%A3%40riao%2Fria5%25akk%3A%7BKUR%7Dmu-li-i%3DMuli%5BMount%20Muli%2F%2FMount%20Muli%5DGN%C2%B4GN%24Muli |website=The Royal Inscriptions of Assyria online |series=[[Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus]] |publisher=[[Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich]] }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Muli [MOUNT MULI] (GN) |url=http://oracc.org/tsae/cbd/qpn/x000111630.html |website=Textual Sources of the Assyrian Empire |series=[[Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus]] |publisher=[[Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich]] }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Muli [MOUNT MULI] (GN) |url=http://oracc.org/tsae/cbd/qpn-x-places/x000024100.html |website=Textual Sources of the Assyrian Empire |series=[[Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus]] |publisher=[[Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich]] }}</ref>) was the Akkadian form of a Luwian original name {{transl|hlu|Mudi}} ({{lang|hlu|{{script|Hluw|𔑿𔑣}}}}){{sfn|Hawkins|2000b|p=523}}{{sfn|Hawkins|2000a|p=521-525}}{{sfn|Weeden|2017|p=727}}<ref>{{cite web |url=http://luwian.web-corpora.net/luwian_corpus/docs/1310 |title=BULGARMADEN |last1=Yakubovich |first1=Ilya |last2=Arkhangelskiy |first2=Timofey |website=Annotated Corpus of Luwian Texts |access-date=25 March 2023 }}</ref> which had experienced the Luwian sound shift from {{IPAslink|d}} to {{IPAslink|l}}.{{sfn|Hawkins|1997|p=414}}{{sfn|D'Alfonso|2012|p=178}}
=== Greek and Roman periods ===

Based on the close association of the "silver mountain," Mount Tunni, with Mount Mulî in the Neo-Assyrian records, both of these mountains were located close to each other, in the northeastern end of the [[Bolkar Mountains|Bolkar]] and Taurus Mountains, where are presently located the silver mines of Bulgarmaden and the [[gypsum]] mine at [[Tunna|Porsuk]]-[[Tunna|Zeyve Höyük]].{{sfn|Hawkins|1997|p=414}}{{sfn|Streck|2014|p=189-190}}

=====Population=====
Tuwana was a state whose population was descended from the largely [[Luwians|Luwian]] inhabitants of the former Hittite region of Tūwanuwa.{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=148}}

=====History=====
Tuwana might have been ruled by a single dynasty consisting of the kings Warpalawas I, followed by his son Sarruwannis, who was succeeded by his own son Muwaḫḫaranis I, himself succeeded by his son [[Warpalawas II]], whose son and successor was Muwaḫḫaranis II.{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=726}}{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=149}}

Tuwana was spared by the Neo-Assyrian king Shalmaneser III's invasion of the Tabalian region which he conducted in 837 BC.{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=240}}

======Submission to the Neo-Assyrian Empire======
By {{c.|738 BC}}, the Tabalian region, including Tuwana, had become a tributary of the [[Neo-Assyrian Empire]], either after the Neo-Assyrian king [[Tiglath-pileser III]]'s ({{Reign|745|727 BCE}}) conquest of Arpad over the course of 743 to 740 BC caused the states of the Tabalian region to submit to him, or possibly as a result of a campaign of Tiglath-pileser III in Tabal.{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=144}}{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=271}}{{sfn|Aro|2013|p=389}}

Consequently, the longest reigning king of Tuwana, [[Warpalawas II]], was mentioned in the records of the Neo-Assyrian Empire as one of five kings who offered tribute to Tiglath-Pileser III in 738 and 737 BC.{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=726}}{{sfn|Hawkins|2014|p=408}}
[[Image:IvrizRelief.JPG|left|thumb|250px|[[İvriz relief]], depicting Warpalawas II (smaller, on the right) worshipping the Storm-god [[Tarḫunz|Tarḫunzas]] (taller, on the left)]]

Tuwana was a powerful state under Warpalawas II, under whose reign it contained one sub-kingdom whose capital was at the site corresponding to present-day [[Porsuk, Ulukışla|Porsuk]], and whose ruler Tarḫunazzas declared himself to be the "servant" of Warpalawas.{{sfn|Hawkins|1997|p=414}}{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=149}}{{sfn|Hawkins|2014|p=408}}

By the time of the Neo-Assyrian king [[Sargon II]] ({{Reign|722|705 BC}}), Tuwana was one of the last still independent Tabalian kingdoms, although it was coming under the pressure of both the Neo-Assyrian Empire and the kingdom of [[Phrygia]] because of its location between these two powers,{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=726}}{{sfn|Hawkins|2014|p=408}} and some Old Phrygian inscriptions on basalt, possibly dated from Warpalawas II's reign, as well as the Phrygian robe depicted as worn by Warpalawas II in his [[İvriz relief|İvriz monument]], suggest that aspects of Phrygian culture were arriving into Tuwana during the late 8th century BC in the time of Warpalawas II.{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=150}}

Warpalawas II nevertheless appears to have carried out a policy of cooperation with the Neo-Assyrian Empire, thanks to which he was able to keep his throne until the {{c.|700s BC}}.{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=150}}

And, after Sargon II had annexed the kingdom of Tabal, then reorganised as the kingdom of Bīt-Burutaš, and deported its king Ambaris in 713 BC, he increased Tuwana's territory in the broader Tabalian region by giving Warpalawas II part of the territory of Bīt-Burutaš.{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=726}}

======Imposition of Neo-Assyrian governorship======
Tuwana however appears to have come under direct Assyrian rule during the later years of Warpalawas II's reign, especially following the annexation of the kingdom of Tabal, then reorganised as the kingdom of Bīt-Burutaš, and the deportation of its king Ambaris in 713 BC, after which Sargon II appointed one Aššur-šarru-uṣur as governor of Que based in Ḫiyawa who also held authority on [[Ḫilakku]] and the Tabalian region, including both Bīt-Burutaš and Tuwana.{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=685}}{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=152}}{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=158-159}}

Thus Tuwana and other nearby Anatolian kingdoms were placed the authority of Aššur-šarru-uṣur.{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=726}}{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=152}}{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=284-285}} Following the appointment of Aššur-šarru-uṣur, Warpalawas II of Tuwana and [[Awarikus]] of Ḫiyawa became largely symbolic rulers although they might have still held the power to manage their kingdoms locally.{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=284}}

The reason for these changes was due to the fact that, although Warpalawas II and Awarikus had been loyal Neo-Assyrian vassals, Sargon II considered them as being too elderly to be able to efficiently uphold Neo-Assyrian authority in southeastern Anatolia, where the situation had become volatile because of encroachment by the then growing power of [[Phrygia|Phrygian kingdom]].{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=284}} Tuwana nevertheless appears to have continued to thrive as a Neo-Assyrian vassal during the rules of Warpalawas II and his son and successor, Muwaḫḫaranis II.{{sfn|Aro|2023|p=117}}

Some cities in these new territories from Bīt-Burutaš which Sargon II had assigned to Warpalawas II were later attacked and occupied by Atuna and Ištuanda in {{c.|710 BC}}.{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=726}}

The last known king of Tuwana was Muwaḫḫaranis II, the son of Warpalawas II.{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=726}}{{sfn|Hawkins|2014|p=408}} As in the latter part of his father's reign, Tuwana during the rule of Muwaḫḫaranis II was under direct rule of the Neo-Assyrian governor Aššur-šarru-uṣur.{{sfn|Bryce|2012|p=152}}

======Regained independence======
Muwaḫḫaranis II might have continued to rule in Tabal into the 7th century BC,{{sfn|Aro|2023|p=123}} by which time Neo-Assyrian control of the Tabalian region had ended.{{sfn|Aro|2023|p=}}

A late 8th century BC king named Masauraḫissas{{sfn|Adiego|2019|p=153-154}} is also attested from an inscription at Porsuk-Zeyve Höyük, although it is uncertain whether he was the king of another state (he is commonly assumed to have been a ruler of Tunna), or whether he ruled in Tuwana after Muwaḫḫaranis II.{{sfn|Simon|2013|p=285-290}}{{sfn|Weeden|2023|p=1002}} Masauraḫissas's name might possibly have been a Luwianisation of a Phrygian name {{transl|xpg|Masa Urgitos}}.{{sfn|Summers|2023|p=115}}

By {{c.|675 BC}}, Neo-Assyrian sources no longer referred to the local Tabalian kings, suggesting that they, including Tuwana, might have been annexed by the king Iškallû of Tabal proper, after which it became part of the united kingdom of Tabal and Melid of the king Mugallu.{{sfn|Simon|2013|p=288}}

The situation of Tuwana following the loss of Neo-Assyrian control over the Tabalian region after 705 BC is unknown, although the survival of the city's name until the Classical period suggests that there was no significant cultural break there after the end of the 8th century BC.{{sfn|Aro|2023|p=117}}

By the Graeco-Roman period, the city became known as Tyana ({{lang-grc|Τυανα|translit=Tuana}}; {{lang-la|Tyana}}), and the country around it as Tyanitis ({{lang-grc|Τυανιτις|translit=Tuanitis}}; {{lang-la|Tyanitis}}).{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=726–727}}{{sfn|Mouton|2014|p=249}}

In Greek legend, the city was first called Thoana because Thoas, a [[Thrace|Thracian]] king, was its founder ([[Arrian]], ''Periplus Ponti Euxini'', vi); it was in [[Cappadocia]], at the foot of the [[Taurus Mountains]] and near the Cilician Gates ([[Strabo]], XII, 537; XIII, 587).

[[Xenophon]] mentions it in his book ''[[Anabasis (Xenophon)|Anabasis]]'', under the name of ''Dana'', as a large and prosperous city. The surrounding plain was known after it as ''Tyanitis''.

=== Roman period ===
It is the reputed birthplace of the celebrated philosopher (and reputed saint or magician) [[Apollonius of Tyana]] in the first century AD. [[Ovid]] ([[Metamorphoses (poem)|Metamorphoses]] VIII) places the tale of [[Baucis and Philemon]] in the vicinity.

According to Strabo the city was known also as "Eusebeia at the Taurus". Under [[Roman Emperor]] [[Caracalla]], the city became ''Antoniana colonia Tyana''. After having sided with Queen [[Zenobia]] of [[Palmyra]], it was captured by [[Aurelian]] in 272, who would not allow his soldiers to sack it, allegedly because [[Apollonius of Tyana|Apollonius]] appeared to him, pleading for its safety.

In 372, Emperor [[Valens]] split the [[Roman province|province]] of Cappadocia in two, and Tyana became the capital and metropolis of ''[[Cappadocia Secunda]]'', and the city was sometimes referred to as '''Christoupolis''' ({{lang-grc-x-medieval|Χριστούπολις|lit=city of Christ}}) in [[Late Antiquity]].{{sfn|Fiaccadori|1991|p=2130}}

Being located around 30 km to the north of the Cilician Gates, Tyana lied on the main road between Constantinople and the Levant. Following the [[Early Muslim conquests|Muslim conquests]] and the establishment of the frontier between the [[Byzantine Empire]] and the [[Caliphate]] along the [[Taurus Mountains]], this made Tyana a recurrent target of raids by the [[Umayyad Caliphate|Umayyad]] and then [[Abbasid Caliphate|Abbasid]] Caliphates in 708, 806 and 831:{{sfn|Fiaccadori|1991|p=2130}}
Following the [[Muslim conquests]] and the establishment of the frontier between the [[Byzantine Empire]] and the [[Caliphate]] along the [[Taurus Mountains]], Tyana became important as a military base due to its strategic position on the road to [[Cilicia]] and [[Syria]] via the [[Cilician Gates]], which lie some 30&nbsp;km to the south.<ref name="ODB"/> Consequently, the city was frequently targeted by Muslim raids. The city was first [[Siege of Tyana|sacked]] by the [[Umayyads]] after a long siege in 708,<ref name="ODB"/><ref>Treadgold (1988), p. 275–276</ref> and remained deserted for some time before being rebuilt. It was then [[Abbasid invasion of Asia Minor (806)|occupied]] by the [[Abbasid]] caliph [[Harun al-Rashid]] in 806. Harun began converting the city into a military base and even erected a [[mosque]] there, but evacuated it after the Byzantine emperor [[Nikephoros I]] bought a peace.<ref>Treadgold (1988), p. 145</ref>

Tyana finally entered into a permanent phase of decline after 933.{{sfn|Fiaccadori|1991|p=2130}}
The city fell into decline after 933, as the Arab threat receded.<ref name="ODB"/> The ruins of Tyana are at modern [[Kemerhisar]], three miles south of [[Niğde]];<ref name="ODB"/> there are remains of a [[Roman aqueduct]] and of cave cemeteries and sepulchral grottoes.

Tyana, earlier known as Tuwana during the Iron Age, and Tūwanuwa during the Bronze Age, was an ancient city in the Anatolian region of Cappadocia, in modern Kemerhisar, Niğde Province, Central Anatolia, Turkey.[1][2][3]

It was the capital of a Luwian-speaking Neo-Hittite kingdom in the 1st millennium BC.

Name

[edit]

The name of the city was Tūwanuwa (𒌷𒌅𒌋𒉿𒉡𒉿[4]) during the Hittite Empire,[1][2] and Tuwana[5] (𔑢𔗬𔐤𔔂[6]) in the Luwian language during the Syro-Hittite period.[1][2] From the Luwian name Tuwana were derived:

Geography

[edit]

Location

[edit]

The location of the Hittite Tūwanuwa/Neo-Hittite Tuwana/Classical Tyana corresponds to the modern-day town of Kemerhisar in Niğde Province, Turkey.[16][17][18][19]

Surroundings

[edit]

The region around Tyana, which corresponded to roughly the same area as the former Iron Age kingdom of Tuwana, was known in Classical Antiquity as Tyanitis.[2][20][21]

History

[edit]

Bronze Age

[edit]
The Hittite Empire, with Tūwanuwa located in the Lower Land.

The city of Tūwanuwa was first mentioned in the texts of the Hittite Empire, as a city located in southeastern Anatolia, in the northern regions of the Lower Land. According to the Telipinu Proclamation, Tūwanuwa was part of the territories that the 17th century BC founder-king of the Hittite Old Empire, Labarna I, had conquered and which his sons divided among each other and established their rule there.[1][3]

According to later Hittite sources, Tūwanuwa was an important cult centre,[16] and its local pantheon was headed by the Storm-god Tarḫunzas of Tūwanuwa and his consort, the goddess Šaḫḫaššara of Tūwanuwa.[22][23]

During the reign of the Hittite Middle Empire's king Tudhaliya III, the cities of Tūwanuwa and Uda had become border towns of the forces of Arzawa after it had invaded the Lower Land.[24][3] Tūwanuwa itself was attacked by Arzawa, and Hittite records of this development associated Tūwanuwa with the town of Tupazziya and Mount Ammuna. Hittite descriptions of the city suggest that Tūwanuwa itself might have been located on a hill or a mountain at this time.[3]

The prince Suppiluliuma fought a battle against the Arzawan forces near Tūwanuwa and recaptured Tūwanuwa, which then became a base from which the Hittite forces reconquered the Lower Land from Arzawa.[24]

Several Hittite texts associated Tūwanuwa with the cities of Nenašša and Ḫupišna, attesting that they were located close to each other. The city of Purušḫattum was also located close to Tūwanuwa.[3]

Neo-Hittite period

[edit]

Kingdom of Tuwana

[edit]

After the collapse of the Hittite Empire, Tūwanuwa became the centre of the Luwian-speaking Syro-Hittite state of Tuwana[1] in the region of Tabal, in whose southernmost regions it was located.[2][18]

Location
[edit]

The kingdom of Tuwana was located in southern Cappadocia and covered the territory located in the present-day province of Niğde in Turkey,[25] lying to the east of the Konya Plain and the Obruk Plateau across Lake Tuz and the Melendiz Mountains until the Hasandağ volcano to the north,[18][26] where the Erdaş and Hodul mountains formed its northern boundary by separating it from the kingdom of Tabal,[18] while to the south it extended to the south until the Cilician Gates[27][26] so that Tuwana was the first area travellers would reach after leaving Ḫiyawa to the north by passing through the Cilician Gates to cross the Taurus Mountains.[18] Tuwana thus corresponded to the region which later in Classical Antiquity was called Tyanitis.[27][21][28]

Tuwana was therefore located in the southern Tabalian region,[15] of which it was the largest and most prominent kingdom, with its territory consisting of several settlements surrounding the royal capital at the city of Tuwana,[1][2] although the city of Naḫitiya (modern Niğde; possibly Hittite period Naḫita[29]) might have temporarily acted as capital under the reign of the king Sarruwannis.[30] Another important settlement in Tuwana was the location known in Classical Antiquity as Tynna and presently as Porsuk-Zeyve Höyük.[26]

By the 8th century BC, Tuwana's territory included the Mount Mudi,[31] which was likely identical with the "alabaster mountain," Mount Mulî, which the Neo-Assyrian king Shalmaneser III climbed and from where he extracted alabaster during his campaign in the Tabalian region in 837 BCE. The name Mulî (𒈬𒇷𒄿[32][33][34][35]) was the Akkadian form of a Luwian original name Mudi (𔑿𔑣)[36][37][38][39] which had experienced the Luwian sound shift from /d/ to /l/.[40][41]

Based on the close association of the "silver mountain," Mount Tunni, with Mount Mulî in the Neo-Assyrian records, both of these mountains were located close to each other, in the northeastern end of the Bolkar and Taurus Mountains, where are presently located the silver mines of Bulgarmaden and the gypsum mine at Porsuk-Zeyve Höyük.[40][42]

Population
[edit]

Tuwana was a state whose population was descended from the largely Luwian inhabitants of the former Hittite region of Tūwanuwa.[2]

History
[edit]

Tuwana might have been ruled by a single dynasty consisting of the kings Warpalawas I, followed by his son Sarruwannis, who was succeeded by his own son Muwaḫḫaranis I, himself succeeded by his son Warpalawas II, whose son and successor was Muwaḫḫaranis II.[1][43]

Tuwana was spared by the Neo-Assyrian king Shalmaneser III's invasion of the Tabalian region which he conducted in 837 BC.[44]

Submission to the Neo-Assyrian Empire
[edit]

By c. 738 BC, the Tabalian region, including Tuwana, had become a tributary of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, either after the Neo-Assyrian king Tiglath-pileser III's (r. 745 – 727 BCE) conquest of Arpad over the course of 743 to 740 BC caused the states of the Tabalian region to submit to him, or possibly as a result of a campaign of Tiglath-pileser III in Tabal.[45][13][46]

Consequently, the longest reigning king of Tuwana, Warpalawas II, was mentioned in the records of the Neo-Assyrian Empire as one of five kings who offered tribute to Tiglath-Pileser III in 738 and 737 BC.[1][47]

Tuwana was a powerful state under Warpalawas II, under whose reign it contained one sub-kingdom whose capital was at the site corresponding to present-day Porsuk, and whose ruler Tarḫunazzas declared himself to be the "servant" of Warpalawas.[40][43][47]

By the time of the Neo-Assyrian king Sargon II (r. 722 – 705 BC), Tuwana was one of the last still independent Tabalian kingdoms, although it was coming under the pressure of both the Neo-Assyrian Empire and the kingdom of Phrygia because of its location between these two powers,[1][47] and some Old Phrygian inscriptions on basalt, possibly dated from Warpalawas II's reign, as well as the Phrygian robe depicted as worn by Warpalawas II in his İvriz monument, suggest that aspects of Phrygian culture were arriving into Tuwana during the late 8th century BC in the time of Warpalawas II.[48]

Warpalawas II nevertheless appears to have carried out a policy of cooperation with the Neo-Assyrian Empire, thanks to which he was able to keep his throne until the c. 700s BC.[48]

And, after Sargon II had annexed the kingdom of Tabal, then reorganised as the kingdom of Bīt-Burutaš, and deported its king Ambaris in 713 BC, he increased Tuwana's territory in the broader Tabalian region by giving Warpalawas II part of the territory of Bīt-Burutaš.[1]

Imposition of Neo-Assyrian governorship
[edit]

Tuwana however appears to have come under direct Assyrian rule during the later years of Warpalawas II's reign, especially following the annexation of the kingdom of Tabal, then reorganised as the kingdom of Bīt-Burutaš, and the deportation of its king Ambaris in 713 BC, after which Sargon II appointed one Aššur-šarru-uṣur as governor of Que based in Ḫiyawa who also held authority on Ḫilakku and the Tabalian region, including both Bīt-Burutaš and Tuwana.[49][31][50]

Thus Tuwana and other nearby Anatolian kingdoms were placed the authority of Aššur-šarru-uṣur.[1][31][51] Following the appointment of Aššur-šarru-uṣur, Warpalawas II of Tuwana and Awarikus of Ḫiyawa became largely symbolic rulers although they might have still held the power to manage their kingdoms locally.[20]

The reason for these changes was due to the fact that, although Warpalawas II and Awarikus had been loyal Neo-Assyrian vassals, Sargon II considered them as being too elderly to be able to efficiently uphold Neo-Assyrian authority in southeastern Anatolia, where the situation had become volatile because of encroachment by the then growing power of Phrygian kingdom.[20] Tuwana nevertheless appears to have continued to thrive as a Neo-Assyrian vassal during the rules of Warpalawas II and his son and successor, Muwaḫḫaranis II.[52]

Some cities in these new territories from Bīt-Burutaš which Sargon II had assigned to Warpalawas II were later attacked and occupied by Atuna and Ištuanda in c. 710 BC.[1]

The last known king of Tuwana was Muwaḫḫaranis II, the son of Warpalawas II.[1][47] As in the latter part of his father's reign, Tuwana during the rule of Muwaḫḫaranis II was under direct rule of the Neo-Assyrian governor Aššur-šarru-uṣur.[31]

Regained independence
[edit]

Muwaḫḫaranis II might have continued to rule in Tabal into the 7th century BC,[53] by which time Neo-Assyrian control of the Tabalian region had ended.[54]

A late 8th century BC king named Masauraḫissas[55] is also attested from an inscription at Porsuk-Zeyve Höyük, although it is uncertain whether he was the king of another state (he is commonly assumed to have been a ruler of Tunna), or whether he ruled in Tuwana after Muwaḫḫaranis II.[56][57] Masauraḫissas's name might possibly have been a Luwianisation of a Phrygian name Masa Urgitos.[58]

By c. 675 BC, Neo-Assyrian sources no longer referred to the local Tabalian kings, suggesting that they, including Tuwana, might have been annexed by the king Iškallû of Tabal proper, after which it became part of the united kingdom of Tabal and Melid of the king Mugallu.[59]

The situation of Tuwana following the loss of Neo-Assyrian control over the Tabalian region after 705 BC is unknown, although the survival of the city's name until the Classical period suggests that there was no significant cultural break there after the end of the 8th century BC.[52]

By the Graeco-Roman period, the city became known as Tyana (Ancient Greek: Τυανα, romanizedTuana; Latin: Tyana), and the country around it as Tyanitis (Ancient Greek: Τυανιτις, romanizedTuanitis; Latin: Tyanitis).[16][3]

In Greek legend, the city was first called Thoana because Thoas, a Thracian king, was its founder (Arrian, Periplus Ponti Euxini, vi); it was in Cappadocia, at the foot of the Taurus Mountains and near the Cilician Gates (Strabo, XII, 537; XIII, 587).

Xenophon mentions it in his book Anabasis, under the name of Dana, as a large and prosperous city. The surrounding plain was known after it as Tyanitis.

Roman period

[edit]

Tyana is the reputed birthplace of the celebrated philosopher (and reputed saint or magician) Apollonius of Tyana in the first century AD. Ovid (Metamorphoses VIII) places the tale of Baucis and Philemon in the vicinity.

According to Strabo the city was known also as "Eusebeia at the Taurus". Under Roman Emperor Caracalla, the city became Antoniana colonia Tyana. After having sided with Queen Zenobia of Palmyra, it was captured by Aurelian in 272, who would not allow his soldiers to sack it, allegedly because Apollonius appeared to him, pleading for its safety.

In 372, Emperor Valens split the province of Cappadocia in two, and Tyana became the capital and metropolis of Cappadocia Secunda, and the city was sometimes referred to as Christoupolis (Medieval Greek: Χριστούπολις, lit.'city of Christ') in Late Antiquity.[69]

Being located around 30 km to the north of the Cilician Gates, Tyana lied on the main road between Constantinople and the Levant. Following the Muslim conquests and the establishment of the frontier between the Byzantine Empire and the Caliphate along the Taurus Mountains, this made Tyana a recurrent target of raids by the Umayyad and then Abbasid Caliphates in 708, 806 and 831:[69]

Abbasid period

[edit]

The city was again taken and razed by the Abbasids under Al-Abbas ibn al-Ma'mun in 831.[72] Abbas rebuilt the site three years later as an Abbasid military colony in preparation for Caliph al-Ma'mun's planned conquest of Byzantium, but after Ma'mun's sudden death in August 833 the campaign was abandoned by his successor al-Mu'tasim and the half-rebuilt city was razed again.[73]

Tyana finally entered into a permanent phase of decline after 933.[69]

Modern period

[edit]

Insignificant ruins of the Byzantine city are still visible at the site of Tyana in the present.[69]

Ecclesiastical history

[edit]

As noted, in 372 Emperor Valens created the province of Cappadocia Secunda, of which Tyana became the metropolis. This aroused a violent controversy between Anthimus, Bishop of Tyana, and St. Basil of Caesarea, each of whom wished to have as many suffragan sees as possible. About 640 Tyana had three, and it was the same in the tenth century (Heinrich Gelzer, "Ungedruckte ... Texte der Notitiae episcopatum", 538, 554).

Le Quien mentions 28 bishops of Tyana,[74] among whom were:

  • Eutychius, at Nice in 325
  • Anthimus, the rival of St. Basil
  • Aetherius, at Constantinople in 381
  • Theodore, the friend of St. John Chrysostom
  • Eutherius, the partisan of Nestorius, deposed and exiled in 431
  • Cyriacus, a Severian Monophysite.

In May 1359, Tyana still had a metropolitan (Mikelosich and Müller, "Acta patriarchatus Constantinopolitani", I, 505); in 1360 the metropolitan of Caesarea secured the administration of it (op. cit., 537). Thenceforth the see was titular.

In 2020, during excavations the archaeologists discovered an octagonal church and coins dated to the 4th century.[75]
