Cromna

Asia

Cromna, or Kromna, was a town on the Paphlagonian coast of ancient Anatolia, in what is now Bartin Province, Turkey, most likely near modern Tekeonu. It is named in Homer's Iliad and is said by Stephanus of Byzantium to take its name from Kromnos, son of Lykaon. Positioned between the towns of Erythini and Cytorus, Cromna minted its own coinage in antiquity.
