Phoenicus (Ionia) Explained

Phoenicus or Phoinikous (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Φοινικοῦς) was a port of ancient Ionia, at the foot of Mount Mimas (modern Boz Dağ; on the Karaburun Peninsula). Thucydides writes that during the Peloponnesian War after the Battle of Arginusae, the Athenian fleet took refuge in the harbour due to a big storm.[1] Livy notices it in his account of the naval operations of the Romans and their allies against Antiochus III the Great.
