(1st–5th c. AD) Perrhe was one of the five major cities of the Kingdom of Commagene, located in modern Örenli, northern Adıyaman, Turkey[1]. The city grew around a famous spring that fed a Roman fountain in its center, making it a crucial staging post for travelers crossing the Taurus Mountains[2]. Some scholars identify Perrhe with Antiochia ad Taurum[1].
