Cherronesos

Cherronesos (Ancient Greek: Χερρόνησος), also Chersonesos (Χερσόνησος), was a town of ancient Caria. It was a member of the Delian League since it appears in tribute records of Athens between 452/1 and 429/8 BCE, paying a phoros of two to three talents.[1] It is also mentioned in a tribute decree of Athens dated to 425/4 BCE. Coins are preserved that have been dated around 500 BCE, bearing the legend «ΧΕΡ»., which are attributed to Cherronesos.[1]

For the town of ancient Crete, see Cherronesos (Crete).

Its site is unlocated.[1]
