Tarrana, known in classical antiquity as Terenouthis, is a town that is currently referred to as Monufia Governorate of Egypt. This site is located in the western Nile Delta, circa 70 km north-west of Cairo, between the southern prehistoric site of Merimde Beni-salame and the northern town of Kom el-Hisn. The modern name for the necropolitain ancient city of Ternouthis (El-Tarrana) is Kom Abou Billou. Tarrana was once a popular commercial center, and housed a diverse demographic that erupted during the Graeco-Roman Period and the establishment of the Ptolemaic Period.
