Rabana-Merquly

Sulaymaniyah Governorate, Iraq

Rabana-Merquly is a cluster of archaeological sites in Qarachatan, Sulaymaniyah Governorate, Kurdistan Region, Iraq. It consists of at least two separate fortified settlements, Rabana and Merquly, and at least two rock reliefs, probably all dating to the Middle Parthian period (c. 50-150 CE). It has been suggested that Rabana-Merquly was the site of ancient Natounia or Natounissarokerta, a city that is otherwise only known from coins.
