Temnos

Temnos or Temnus (Ancient Greek: Τῆμνος; Aeolic Greek: Τᾶμνος[1]) was a small Greek polis (city-state) of ancient Aeolis, later incorporated in the Roman province of Asia, on the western coast of Anatolia.

Situated at elevation it commanded a view of the territories of Cyme, Phocaea, and Smyrna.

Under Augustus it was already on the decline; under Tiberius it was destroyed by an earthquake;[3] and in the time of Pliny it was no longer inhabited.

Ramsay (Asia Minor, 108) thought the diocese of Temnus identical with that of Archangelus, which from the tenth to the thirteenth century the Notitiae Episcopatuum assigns to Smyrna.
