THENAE

THENAE (Θεναί), a maritime city of Byzacium in Africa Proper, at the mouth of a small river which fell into the Syrtis Minor, and 216 miles SE. of Carthage. (Plin. Nat. 5.4. s. 3.) By Strabo it is called ἡ Θένα (xvii. p. 831), and by Ptolemy Θαίνα, or Θέαιναι (1.15.2, 4.3.11). At a later period it became a Roman colony with the name of Aelia Augusta Mercurialis (Gruter, Inscr. p. 363; cf. Itin. Ant. p. 59, also pp. 46, 47, 48, 57). Now Thaini, or Têny.
