Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

AMI´SIA a place on the left bank of the river Amisia ( Ems), in Germany. (Tac. Ann. 2.8.) This place, which is not mentioned by any other ancient author, is perhaps the same as the town of Ἀμάσειαnoticed by Ptolemy (Ptol. 2.11), and the Ἄμισσαmentioned by Stephanus Byzantinus as a town of Germany. (Comp. Ledebur, Land u. Volk der Bructerer, p. 180, foll.)
