Шаблон:Short description Cerasus or Kerasous (Шаблон:Lang-grc) was a town of ancient Pontus, on the Black Sea coast, a little to the west of Trapezus.[1] The Ten Thousand, in their retreat, came to Trapezus, and leaving Trapezus, "they arrive on the third day at Cerasus, an Hellenic city on the sea, a colony of the Sinopeis, in Colchis."[2] The Anonymous geographer of Ravenna places Cerasus 60 stadia east of Coralla, and 90 west of Hieron Oros, and on a river of the same name. The name, and possibly the population, of the town were translated to Pharnacia in the Hellenistic era.[3]

Its site is tentatively located near Gelida Kale in Asiatic Turkey.[1][4]
