Nora () was a mountain fortress and town of ancient Cappadocia, on the frontiers of Lycaonia. Located at the foot of Mount Taurus, in which Eumenes was for a whole winter besieged by Antigonus (319 BC), before he escaped.Chisholm, Hugh, ed. (1911). "Eumenes". Encyclopædia Britannica. 9 (11th ed.). Cambridge University Press. p. 889.Plutarch, Eum. 10; Corn. Nep. Eum. 5. In Strabo's time it was called Neroassus or Neroassos (Νηροασσός), and served as a treasury to Sicinus, who was striving to obtain the sovereignty of Cappadocia.
Its site is tentatively located near Gelin tepe in (Aksaray Province), a small mound lying c. east to the modern town of Güzelyurt and behind the village of Sivrihisar Asiatic Turkey.
