Karabiga

Karabiga[2] (Karabuga[3]) is a town (belde) in the Biga District, Çanakkale Province, Turkey.

Strabo mentions that the area produced fine wine and that the god Priapus gave the town its ancient name.

[14] Under the Eastern Roman Empire, the town was known as Pegae or Pegai (Πηγαί)[15] and was the site of a Byzantine fortress.

[16] During the Allied occupation following World War I, Karabiga was part of the lands that were claimed by Anzavur Ahmed Pasha in his attempt to keep the area from the Turkish nationalists.

He was killed just outside Karabiga in April 1921 by Turkish nationalists aligned with Arnavud Rahman.
