Thynias (Ancient Greek: Θυνιάς) was a town of ancient Thrace on the coast of the Pontus Euxinus on a promontory of the same name (modern İğneada Burnu),[1] mentioned by numerous ancient authors.[2][3][4][5][6] It was located north of Salmydessus, which was probably at one time in the territories of the Thyni, although Strabo speaks of the district as belonging to the people of Apollonia.[7] According to Pliny the Elder, the town was placed a little to the south of the promontory.[3]
Its site is located near İğneada in European Turkey.[8][9]
