History

Clysma was founded or rebuilt by Emperor Trajan in the second century AD to protect travellers and merchants as it lay at the junction of roads from Sinai, Palestine, and Egypt.Шаблон:Sfnp This was done in conjunction with the construction of the Amnis Traianus, a canal that linked the Nile and the Red Sea and had its outlet near Clysma.Шаблон:Sfnp It has been suggested that the port was used for the exportation of textiles and grain produced in the Arsinoite nome as they were better adapted to transportation via the Amnis Traianus to Clysma than overland to the southern ports of Berenice Troglodytica and Myos Hormos.Шаблон:Sfnp

Clysma is first recorded in Lucian's Alexander Pseudomantis in the early 2nd century AD, and by Ptolemy in Geographia in the mid-2nd century,Шаблон:Sfnp in which he described Clysma as a phrourion.Шаблон:Sfnp In 179,Шаблон:Sfnp soldiers of the Ala Veterana Gallica were stationed at the city.Шаблон:Sfnp Clysma is also described in the works of Hierocles as a kastron, and is recorded in the Panarion of Saint Epiphanius of Salamis.Шаблон:Sfnp As well as this, church historians Eusebius in Onomastikon and Philostorgius in Historia Ecclesiastica make reference to the city.Шаблон:Sfnp Saint Eugenios of Clysma is said to have studied as a monk at Clysma.Шаблон:Sfnp

The nearby Mountain of Antony, also known as the Mountain of Clysma, was inhabited by anchorites, such as Saint John the Dwarf, and Saint Sisoes the Great, who died there in 409 and 429, respectively.Шаблон:Sfnp The destruction of the Nile emporium of Koptos, from where goods were transported overland to Berenice and Myos Hormos, by Emperor Diocletian in the late third century temporarily disrupted trade at the southern ports and led to an increase of trade at Clysma which reached its peak in the fourth and fifth centuries.Шаблон:Sfnp A commercius, an official with responsibility for foreign trade, was active at Clysma during the reign of Emperor Anastasius I Dicorus.Шаблон:Sfnp Clysma is recorded on the Tabula Peutingeriana.Шаблон:Sfnp

In response to an appeal for aid, in c. 525, Emperor Justin I had Clysma provide twenty vessels to the king of Ethiopia in his war with the king of Himyar.Шаблон:Sfnp The Plague of Justinian likely first entered the Roman Empire through the port of Clysma, and thus spread to Pelusium, where it was first reported in mid-July 541.Шаблон:Sfnp According to Eutychius of Alexandria, a church of Saint Athanasius was constructed at Clysma on the orders of Emperor Justinian I.Шаблон:Sfnp In c. 570, Clysma was visited by the anonymous pilgrim of Piacenza, who noted eighteen or more tombs of hermits at the city's basilica.Шаблон:Sfnp

After the Muslim conquest of Egypt, Clysma was known in Arabic as al-Ḳulzum, and the Red Sea was known as the Baḥr al-Ḳulzum (sea of Clysma).Шаблон:Sfnp
