Commodus, March or April 177 - 31 December 192 A.D., Amaseia, Pontos
|Pontos|, |Commodus,| |March| |or| |April| |177| |-| |31| |December| |192| |A.D.,| |Amaseia,| |Pontos|, Pontus, Amaseia is in modern day Turkey and is described in Price and Trell as one of the most impressive sites in that country. According to Price and Trell, the sanctuary to Zeus Statios, the chief deity of Amaseia, was not actually at Amaseia itself, but to the East, behind a mountain, on the high plateau at Buyuk Evlia. The great monumental altar to Zeus Stratios is always accompanied by a tree or flower, which would seem to have some connection with the cult.
