Singara in a detail from Peutinger's map, a medieval copy of a 4th-century Roman original.

Singara (Greek: τὰ Σίγγαρα, tà Síngara; Syriac: ܫܝܓܪ)[1] was a strongly fortified post at the northern extremity of Mesopotamia, which for a while, as it appears from coins minted there, was occupied by the Romans as an advanced colony against the Persians. It was the camp of legio I Parthica.[2]
