Camisa
Camisa or Kamisa (Ancient Greek: τὰ Κάμισα), also known as Comassa and possibly as Eumeis, was a town of Lesser Armenia, inhabited during Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine times. It loaned its name to the surrounding district of Camisene or Comisene; it was destroyed in Strabo's time. Salt was mined here in antiquity.

Its site is located in Sivas Province Asiatic Turkey.
