SAMSUN (anc. Antisus)

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 120 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SAMSUN (anc. Antisus) , the
chief
  town of the Janik sanjak of the
Trebizond
  vilayet of Asiatic Turkey, situated on the S.
coast
  of the Black Sea between the deltas of the Kizil and Yeshil Irmaks. Pop. about 15,000, two-thirds Christian. It is connected by metalled roads with Sivas and Kaisarieh, and by sea with
Constantinople
 .' It is a thriving town, and the outlet for the trade of the Sivas vilayet. Steamers lie about x m. from the shore in an open roadstead, and in winter landing is some-times impossible. Its
district
  is one of the principal sources of Turkish tobacco, a whole variety of which is known as"
Samsun
 ."
Samsun
  exports cereals, tobacco and wool. Both exports and imports are about stationary, the
Angora
 .railway having neutralized any tendency to rise. Amisus, which stood on a promontory about 1 z m. N.W. of Samsun, was, next to Sinope, the most flourishing of the Greek settlements on the Euxine, and under the kings of Pontus it was a rich trading town. By the 1st century A.D. it had displaced Sinope as the N. Port of the
great
  trade route from Central
Asia
 , and later it was one of the
chief
  towns of the Comneni of
Trebizond
 . There are still a few remains of the Greek
settlement
 . (D. G. H.)
