The writers of antiquity clearly recognized this fact, speaking of the whole under the general, while the southern is flat and marshy the near approach of the two rivers to one another, at a spot where the undulating plateau of the north sinks suddenly into the Babylonian alluvium, tends to separate them still more completely. In the earliest recorded times, the northern portion was included in Mesopotamia it was marked off as Assyria after the rise of the Assyrian monarchy. Apart from Assur , the original capital, the chief cities of the country, Nineveh , Calah and Arbela , were all on the east bank of the Tigris.

Apamea or Apameia lang el was an ancient city &ndash and possibly two ancient cities lying close together &ndash of Mesopotamia mentioned by Stephanus of Byzantium and Pliny the Elder Pliny as situated near the Tigris near the confluence of the Euphrates , the precise location of which is still uncertain, but it lies in modern day Iraq . Stephanus s. v. Apameia describes Apamea as in the territory of Mesene , and surrounded by the Tigris, at which place, that is Apamea, or it may mean, in which country, Mesene, the Tigris is divided on the right part there flows round a river Sellas , and on the left the Tigris, having the same name with the large one. It does not appear what writer he is copying but it may be Arrian . Pliny says of the Tigris, that around Apamea, a town of Mesene, on this side of the Seleucia on the Tigris Babylonian Seleucia , 125 miles, the Tigris being divided into two channels, by one channel it flows to the south and to Seleucia, washing all along Mesene by the other channel, turning to the north at the back of the same nation Mesene , it divides the plains called Cauchae when the waters have united again, the river is called Pasitigris . ref Pliny, vi. 27 ref There was a place at or near Seleucia called Coche ref Ammianus Marcellinus xxiv. 5, and the notes of Henri Valois Valesius and Lindebrog ref and the site of Seleucia is below Baghdad . These are the only points in the description that are certain. It seems difficult to explain the passage of Pliny, or to determine the probable site of Apamea. It cannot be at Korna , as some suppose, e.g., Ptolemy ref Ptolemy. Geography , v. 18 ref , where the Tigris and Euphrates meet, for both Stephanus and Pliny place Apamea at the point where the Tigris is divided. Pliny places Digba at Korna ref Pliny, vi. 146 ref , in ripa Tigris circa confluentes , &ndash at the junction of the Tigris and the Euphrates.
