Amemar, of the sixth Babylonian generation, headed the academy at Nehardea in Rav Ashi's day and is regularly named beside him and beside Mar Zutra — the three of them travelling, ruling and disputing together in the last generation before the Talmud closed.

He is named some two hundred and ten times across twenty-eight tractates, heaviest in Bava Batra and Chullin. Several of the practical rulings he gave in Nehardea are cited by the Gemara as the settled practice of that place, which is one of the ways a late Amora's decision entered the law.

Head of Nehardea in Rav Ashi's day.
