Apamea Ragiana () –
Apamea Rhagiana,
Apamea Raphiana, or
Apameia Rhagiane; previously,
Arsace,
Khuvar, and
Choara – was an ancient
Hellenistic city of
Choarene, Media (formerly
Parthia), according to
Strabo 500 stadia (ca. 15 km) south of the
Caspian Gates, southeast of
Rhagae. The city was founded after the Macedonian conquest of Persia. The city is also mentioned by Ammianus Marcellinus (xxiii. 6). The precise location of Apamea is not known, but it is certainly in
Iran; the ruins have not been found.
