Encyclopedia Britannica



RODOSTO (Turkish, Tekir Dagh)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 449 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
RODOSTO (Turkish, Tekir Dagh) , a town of European Turkey, in the vilayet of Adrianople, on the
coast
  of the Sea of Marmora, 78 m. W. of
Constantinople
 . Pop. (1905) about 35,000, of whom half are Greeks. The picturesque Bay of
Rodosto
  is enclosed by the
great
  promontory of Combos, a spur about 2000 ft. in height from the hilly
plateau
  to the north. The church of Panagia Rheumatocratissa contains the
graves
 , with long Latin
inscriptions
 , of the Hungarians who were banished from their country in 1686 by the imperialist captors of Buda.
Rodosto
  was long a
great
  depot for the produce of the Adrianople
district
 , but its trade suffered when Dedeagatch became the terminus of the railway up the Maritza, and the town is now
dependent on its maritime trade, especially its exports to
Constantinople
 . It is the administrative centre of a
district
  (sanjak) producing and exporting barley, oats, spelt and
canary
  seed, and largely planted with mulberry trees, on which silk-worms are fed. White cocoons are exported to western Europe (394 cwt. in 1901), silkworms' eggs to Russia and Persia.
Rodosto is the ancient Rhaedestus or Bisanihe, said to have been founded by Samians. In Xenophon's Anabasis it is mentioned as in the kingdom of the Thracian prince Seuthes. Its restoration by Justinian in the 6th century A.D. is chronicled by Procopius. In 813 and again in 1206 it was sacked by the Bulgarians, but it continues to appear as a place of considerable note in later Byzantine history.
