Nora (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: τὰ Νῶρα) was a mountain fortress and town of ancient Cappadocia, on the frontiers of Lycaonia. Located at the foot of Mount Taurus, in which Eumenes was for a whole winter besieged by Antigonus (319 BC), before he escaped.[1] [2] In Strabo's time it was called Neroassus or Neroassos (Νηροασσός), and served as a treasury to Sicinus, who was striving to obtain the sovereignty of Cappadocia.
Its site is tentatively located near Gelin tepe in (Aksaray Province), a small mound lying c. 3.5km (02.2miles) east to the modern town of Güzelyurt and behind the village of Sivrihisar Asiatic Turkey.
