Soanda ( Ancient Greek: Σόανδα), or Soandum or Soandon (Σόανδον), was a fortified settlement of ancient Cappadocia, inhabited in Roman times. [1] [2] [3] The same place seems to be alluded to by Frontinus, who calls it Suenda. [4]
Its site is tentatively located near Uşaklı Höyük (Kuşaklı Hüyük), Asiatic Turkey. [1] [5]
