Kasos in 218 B.C.

Kasos — Rhodes › The Subject Islands.

A small, rugged island off the southwestern tip of Karpathos, last of the Rhodian-held lands before the Cretan sea. Its chief settlement perches above the harbour, and the islanders — seafarers all — look to Rhodes, whose growing maritime dominion has drawn the lesser communities of the Carpathian Sea into its orbit.
