Rhizus

Rhizus or Rhizous (Greek: Ριζούς (ο)) was a town and polis[1] of Magnesia in ancient Thessaly, whose inhabitants were transported by Demetrios Poliorketes to Demetrias upon the foundation of the latter city.

[2][3][4] We learn from Periplus of Pseudo-Scylax that Rhizus was outside the Pagasaean Gulf upon the exterior (Aegean) shore.

[2] Coins minted by Rhizus have been found, dated in the 4th century BCE.

[6][7] The site of Rhizus is at the modern village of Tarsanas (Ταρσανάς).
