Nisibis

Nisibis was an ancient city located in present-day Turkey, near the border with Syria. It played a significant role as a cultural and religious center, particularly for early Christianity and the Church of the East. Historically, it was known for its strategic location along trade routes and as a site of conflict between empires, including the Romans and Persians. Nisibis is also notable for its university, which contributed to theological and philosophical thought. Today, the remnants of Nisibis offer insights into its rich heritage and the complexities of ancient civilizations in the region.
