Adulis
Adulis
or
Aduli
(Αδουλίς in
Ancient Greek
) is an
archeological site
in the
Northern Red Sea
region
of
Eritrea
, situated about 30 miles south of
Massawa
in the
Gulf of Zula
. It was the port of the
Kingdom of Aksum
, located on the coast of the
Red Sea
.
Adulis Bay
is named after the site. It is thought that the modern town of
Zula
may be the Adulis of the Aksumite epoch, as Zula may reflect the local name for the Ancient Greek "Adulis."
