Fortified settlement of ancient Cappadocia

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]
