Tibareni
The Tibareni were an ancient Anatolian people who inhabited the region of Tibarenia, located along the Black Sea coast in what is now modern-day Turkey. They are first mentioned in Assyrian records from the 8th century BCE, where they appear as a kingdom paying tribute to the Neo-Assyrian Empire. The Tibareni were known for their maritime activities and trade, participating in the bustling economies of the ancient Near East. Their territory was strategically important, offering access to resources and trade routes.
Historical accounts suggest that the Tibareni were a distinct cultural group with their own language and customs,
