Opone

Opone (Ancient Greek: Ὀπώνη ἐμπόριον) was an ancient trading center in present-day Somalia. It is primarily known for its trade with the Ancient Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Persians, and the states of ancient India.^[2]^[3] The historic port has been identified with the city of Hafun through archaeological remains.^[4] It is possible that it corresponds to the Land of Punt as known by the ancient Egyptians during the Old, Middle, and New Kingdom.^[5]^[6]^[7]
