Ušnanis
fort · 1000 BC – 540 BC · location approximate
Ušnanis is a Quean fortress located on the Cilician plain. In the eighth century BC, perhaps only for a short time, Phrygia controlled the territory in which Ušnanis was located. The Assyrian king Sargon II (r. 721-705), after his armies defeated the Phrygian king Midas (= Mitâ of Musku), restored Ušnanis to Que, which was then a province of the Assyrian Empire.
