Seleucia (Susiana)

Seleucia on Hedyphon (also Seleucia Susiana ) was an ancient city in the southwest of present-day Iran. The city's location has not yet been identified with certainty, but the Hedyphon is tentatively equated with the Jarrahi and the place with Yes Nishin. The city is said to have previously worn the name Solace ( Strabo 16,1,18 ). She was at least temporarily, the capital of the rulers of the Elymais who also coined coins here.
