Troas

Troas was an ancient city located in what is now modern-day Turkey, near the Aegean coast. It served as a significant commercial and strategic hub during the Greek and Roman periods, due to its proximity to key trade routes and the sea. Historically, Troas is notable in early Christian tradition as a location mentioned in the New Testament; it is associated with the Apostle Paul, who visited the city during his missionary journeys. Today, the archaeological site of ancient Troas offers valuable insights into classical and early Christian history.
