About Apollonia (Susa) Port Ruins
Apollonia was founded in the seventh century BCE as the harbor town serving Cyrene, the great Greek colony on the Libyan coast. It handled the export of goods such as silphium and grain and later grew into an independent city under Roman and Byzantine rule. It remained the principal maritime gateway for Cyrenaica throughout antiquity.
