Demetrias in Assyria

Iraq

Demetrias was a Hellenistic city in Assyria, near Arbela. It was probably founded by Demetrius I Soter (a Seleucid king of Syria), in commemoration of his victory over the rebel Timarchus of Babylon, in 160 B.C. It was located at the bank of Tigris and minted its own bronze coinage with the inscription, (of the Demetrians by the Tigris), with the figures of Tyche and a tripod.
