⭐ Core Definition: Armi (Syria)

Armi, was an important Bronze Age city-kingdom during the late third millennium BC located in northern Syria, or in southern Anatolia, Turkey, at the region of Cilicia.

There is a question of whether or not Armi should be identified with Armanum, that is also mentioned in many texts of this period. According to Adelheid Otto (2006), it is "... generally accepted that Armanum should be identified with Armi/Armium of the Ebla texts ...", as opposed to Aleppo. But other scholars may disagree. Three different identifications of "Armi (Armium)" are given by Edwards (2019). This includes Samsat, Turkey, and Tall Bazi.
