Artemita (Ancient Greek: Ἀρτεμίτα) or Artemita in Apolloniatis was a Greek[1] city in Sittacene, a region in what is now eastern Iraq.
[3] According to Isidore of Charax, it was crossed by the river Sillas (Diyala) and is located about ca.
90 km from Seleucia, and was already known since Tiglathpileser III in Assyrian cuneiform sources (second half of 8th century BCE) as Kār Aššur and later as Chalasar (Tabula Peutingeriana, Manî).
[3][1] Later it was settled again under the Greeks (Macedonian),[4] but might have been considered Parthian.
In AD 31, It welcomed the Arsacid pretender Tiridates II.
