Athena Temple, Assos on the Adramyttian Gulf



"... ascendentes autem navem hadrumetinam incipientem navigare circa Asiae loca sustulimus perseverante nobiscum Aristarcho Macedone Thessalonicense...."
Biblia Sacra Vulgatam, Act. 27, 2.

Assos was a port city with the only good harbor on the north shore of the Adramyttian Gulf, situated on a seven-hundred-foot volcanic hill, facing south to the island of Lesbos.
