Ancient Salamis was a prominent city-state on the eastern coast of Cyprus, near modern-day Famagusta. Founded around the 11th century BCE, it flourished during the Greek, Roman, and early Byzantine periods. As a major commercial and cultural hub, Salamis played a crucial role in Mediterranean trade and politics.

The city boasts impressive ruins, including a gymnasium, Roman baths, a large amphitheater, and elaborate mosaics—evidence of its wealth and significance. It was also home to a famous sanctuary dedicated to Zeus and was closely associated with the mythological figure Teucer, who is said to have founded the city after the Trojan War.

Salamis declined after repeated earthquakes and Arab raids in the 7th century CE, eventually being abandoned. Today, it stands as one of the most important archaeological sites in Cyprus, offering valuable insights into ancient urban life and culture.
