Rhesaina (Rhesaena) (Ancient Greek: Ρέσαινα and Ρεσαίνα) was a city in the late Roman province of Mesopotamia Secunda and a bishopric that was a suffragan of Dara. Rhesaina (Rhesaena, Resaena – numerous variations of the name appear in ancient authors) was an important town at the northern extremity of Mesopotamia, near the sources of the Chaboras (now the Khabur River. It was on the way from Carrhae to Nicephorium, about eighty miles from Nisibis and forty from Dara. Nearby, Gordian III fought the Persians in 243, at the battle of Resaena. It is now Ra's al-'Ayn, Syria.

  • Resena (anche Resaena e Resaina) era l'antico nome della città di Ras al-Ayn, Siria. Essendo al confine tra l'Impero romano e quello dei Sasanidi, la città passò dall'una all'altra forza nel periodo che va tra il II e il IV secolo. Nel III secolo fu sede della legione III Parthica, e nel 243 vi si combatté la battaglia di Resena, vinta dall'imperatore romano Gordiano III sul re persiano Sapore I. (it)
