The river Batman, in eastern Turkey / Kurdistan, was part of the Roman frontier, probably between 298 and 363, and perhaps even later. TIgranocerta/Martyropolis was situated on its west bank. It was called Nymphius, I think. Does anyone know whether 298 and 363 are correct? The site was fortified by Justinian, which suggests that the Batman was Rome's frontier at a later stage.
