AMPE ( Ἄμπη, ἡ)

CHRISTOPHER BARON

University of Notre Dame

A city near the coast of the ERYTHRAEAN SEA (here, the Persian Gulf) past which the TIGRIS RIVER flows; exact location and identification remain unknown (Scott 2005, 121–22). Herodotus states that DARIUS I transported the inhabitants of MILETUS, captured near the end of the IONIAN REVOLT (494 BCE), to live in Ampe (6.20). Numerous examples of Persian kings deporting defeated communities (enemies or rebels) survive in our ancient evidence, including from the Histories: BARCA (to BACTRIA, 4.204), PAEONIANS (to ASIA, 5.12–15), and ERETRIA after the MARATHON campaign of 490 (to ARDERICCA, 6.119).
