Aromata, Archaeological site in northern Somalia.
The remains at Aromata include ancient port structures and trade artifacts situated near Cape Guardafui along the Horn of Africa coastline.
During the first century, Aromata operated as a central trading port connecting merchants from India, Southeast Asia, and the Mediterranean region.
Excavated materials at the site reveal evidence of diverse trading networks through discovered Roman pottery, coins, and various grades of cassia.
Visitors require local guides and permits to access the archaeological site, which sits at latitude 11.83 and longitude 51.24 in Somalia.
The port earned recognition in Ptolemy's Geography for its strategic position against prevailing winds, affecting ancient maritime navigation patterns.
