Tegarama
Tegarama was a city in Anatolia during the Bronze Age. It is often identified with Gürün and biblical Togarmah.
A fortified city in Kammanu mentioned in Neo-Assyrian royal inscriptions of the ninth, eighth, and seventh centuries BC as Til-garimmu/Til-garimme.
The city contained a palace, a karum and an Assyrian colony office. It was important in terms of trade which included tin, textiles, wool, slaves and wine. The city was inhabited during the Old Assyrian Kingdom and Hittite Empire.
Late Bronze Age
The city was sacked by Isuwa during the early reign of the Hittite king Tudhaliya III on the eastern border.
During his victorious campaign against Mitanni, Hittite king Suppiluliuma I halted in Tegarama and inspected his forces before attacking and capturing Karkemish. Consequently, city must have been on the road from Hattusa to Karkhemish.
Iron Age
The vassal ruler of Melid, Tarḫun-azi, revolted against Sargon's rule, seeking assistance from king Midas of Phrygia. After Sargon sacked Melid, Tarḫun-azi sought refuge in Til-garimme. Sargon eventually captured the city, imprisoned Tarḫun-azi and his family, and incorporated the city into the empire.
The city seems to have been occupied by the armies of a certain king called Gurdî, king of the city Urdutu, who was warring against Sennacherib. Sennacherib besieged the city, incorporated the use of battering rams. Sennacherib claims to have destroyed the city, turning it into a "mound of ruins". It is possible this pun was used previously by Tiglath-pileser III in reference to the city, which he located in Gurgum.
Theories
The exact location of the city in Anatolia is disputed. Oliver Gurney placed Tegarama in Southeast Anatolia. Others have located it in central Anatolia near the town of Gürün, Sivas about 90 miles east of Kanesh.
Til-garimmu is usually identified with modern Gürün, biblical Tōgarmā, classical Gauraene/Gauraina, Old Assyrian Tergarama, Hittite Takarama, and Luwian Lakarma/Lukarma. However, no pre-Roman remains have been discovered at Gürün.
Akçadaǧ
Akçadaǧ, ca. 30 km west of Malatya, has been tentatively suggested as an alternate location.
Changing location
One theory is that the name of the city was 'moved' to another settlement during the history.
The city is sometimes associated with Biblical Togarmah.
