Opone (Ancient Greek: Ὀπώνη ἐμπόριον) was an ancient seaport and emporium located in present-day Somalia. It is primarily known for its trade with the Ancient Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Persians, and the states of ancient India.[2][3] The historic port has been identified with the city of Hafun through archaeological remains.[4] It is possible that it corresponds to the Land of Punt as known by the ancient Egyptians during the Old, Middle, and New Kingdom.[5][6][7]
