Pyrnus (Caria)

Pyrnus was a city in ancient Caria, a region in southwestern Anatolia (modern-day Turkey). Its precise location is uncertain, but it is known to have been a member of the Delian League, as evidenced by its appearance on the Athenian tribute lists. This indicates that Pyrnus was of some significance within the region during the 5th century BCE. Historical records regarding Pyrnus are scarce, and its history beyond its participation in the Delian League remains largely unknown. Further archaeological investigation and textual discoveries would be necessary to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the city.
