Summary

The port of Adulis was one of greatest significance in Antiquity. Best known for its pivotal role in Aksumite trade during the fourth to seventh centuries AD, it was also a major port of the earlier Roman period, featuring in the first century AD Periplus of the Erythraean Sea. Not only did Adulis offer a good, secure harbour and market on the route to India, it was also a source for luxuries such as tortoise shell, ivory and rhinoceros horn.
