Awan (ancient city)

Awan (Sumerian cuneiform: π’€€π’‰Ώπ’€­π’†  a-wa-anki, "Country of Awan") was an ancient city-state or region of Elam in the western area of modern-day Iran. It often appears together with the cities of Susa and Anshan in the early history of Mesopotamia, having many conflictual interactions with Sumer.
