Context: Salmone is referenced in the New Testament in the Book of Acts. It is specifically mentioned in Acts 27:7, where it describes part of the Apostle Paul's journey to Rome as a prisoner. The passage notes that the ship Paul was on sailed under the lee of Crete, off Salmone, indicating that they were navigating close to the coast to avoid adverse winds. This geographical reference highlights the challenges faced during ancient maritime travel and provides context for the narrative of Paul's journey. The mention of Salmone underscores the historical and geographical accuracy of the biblical account, as it aligns with known locations on the island of Crete. The promontory of Salmone would have been a significant navigational marker for sailors in the ancient Mediterranean world.
