Speri (Georgian: სპერი; lit. 'Speri'), also known as Sper (Armenian: Սպեր; lit. 'Sper or Sber') is a historical region now part of the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey. It was centered in the upper reaches of the valley of the Çoruh River, its probable capital was the town of İspir, or Syspiritus as indicated on the map next to the Byzantine-Sassanid border, and it originally extended as far west as the town of Bayburt and the Bayburt plains.
