ZEUGMA
Situated in South-eastern Turkey, Zeugma, literally “bridge” or “crossing”

major ancient crossing point on the river Euphrates. The ancient term
Zeugma actually referred to the twin cities on the opposing banks of
the river. They were Hellenistic settlements established by commander
Seleucus Nicator around 300 BCE.
