Some history
Originally the principal Phoenician colony in Cyprus, it later became a part of the Hellenistic world. The ancient
site is at the north end of modern Larnaca hotels 2. The earliest remains go back to the Mycenean age (ca 1400-1100 BC) and
seem to mark an Aegean colony, but in historic times Citium was the chief center of Phoenician influence in Cyprus - Larnaca Hotels 2.
That this was still a recent settlement in the 7th century BC is suggested by an allusion in a list of the allies of
Assurbanipal of Assyria in 668 BC to a King Damusu (Damasos) of Karti-hadasti (Phoenician "new city"), where Citium
would be expected. (The same ten kings appear in an earlier list of Asarhaddon's 673/672 BC, which might simply have
been copied by Assurbanipal's scribes.) A Phoenician dedication to Baal, dated also to the 7th century BC, suggests
that Citium may have belonged to Tyre. Larnaca Hotels 2. The discovery here of an official monument of Sargon II suggests that Citium
was the administrative center of Cyprus during the Assyrian protectorate (709 - 668 BC). During the Ionian Greek
revolts of the 4th century BC Citium led the side that was loyal to Persia and was besieged by an Athenian force
in 449 BC.
The famous stoic philosopher Zeno of Citium hailed from the city. It is said he began his stoic teaching aftter
losing everything he had in a shipwreck - Larnaca Hotels 2.
A famous Athenian general, Kimon died at sea defending the city of Citium in a major battle with the Persians of
Xerxes. He told his officers to keep the news of his death secret. The quote "Even in death
I was victorious" was attributed to Kimon. A statue of 'Kimon the Athenian' stands proudly on the sea front
promenade of modern Larnaca - Larnaca Hotels 2.
Like other cities of Cyprus, it has suffered repeatedly from earthquakes, and in medieval times when its harbour
silted up (a sign that the island was deforested and overgrazed) the population moved to Larnaca, on the open
seafront farther south. The harbour and citadel have now disappeared. Traces remain of the circuit wall, and of a
sanctuary with copious terra-cotta offerings; the large cemetery has yielded constant loot to illicit excavation
for more than a century - Larnaca Hotels 2.
