In antiquity, Zara (Ancient Greek: Ζάρα) was a town in the northern part of Armenia Minor, or perhaps more correctly in Pontus, on the road from Caesarea to Satala, and at the same time on that from Arabissus to Nicopolis.[4]


Economy


Historically, silver was extracted from lead in Zara. Coal, asbestos, and arsenic were also produced in the area.[5]
