City-state existed:
1st millennium BC–500 AD
Opone (Ancient Greek: Ὀπώνη ἐμπόριον) was an ancient Proto-Somali city situated in Hafun, Somalia. It is primarily known for its trade with the Ancient Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, Persians, and the states of ancient India. Through archaeological remains, the historic port has been identified with the city of Hafun on the Hafun peninsula in modern-day Northeast Somalia.[2] It is possible that it corresponds to the Land of Punt as known by the ancient Egyptians during the Old, Middle, and New Kingdom.[3][4][5]
