The insular city of Arados, located in northern Phoenicia was inhabited since the Early Bronze Age (3rd millennium BC) by peoples who engaged in maritime trade. The kings who ruled the city also maintained their authority over a good deal of retailer territory on the Phoenician mainland under the auspices of their god, Ba'al, who was known to the Greeks as Zeus Baitokaikes.
During both the Bronze and the Iron Ages Arados became wealthy through the maintenance of international trade relations. Aradian traders continued to ply the seas carrying their wares to their traditional customers well into the Hellenistic and Roman periods.
