It affected most of the Roman provinces of Lycia and Caria and the islands of Rhodes, Kos, Simi and Serifos.[1][2][3] It triggered a severe tsunami which caused major inundation.[4] The epicenter for this earthquake is not well constrained, with locations suggested at the northern end of Rhodes,[5] on the Turkish mainland north of Rhodes near Marmaris[3] and beneath the sea to the east of Rhodes.[4]
