Troas (full name Alexandria Troas) was a major Roman port city on the Aegean coast of the Troad region in northwest Asia Minor (modern Turkey). It served as the primary gateway between Asia and Macedonia and figures prominently in Paul's missionary travels. At Troas, Paul received the Macedonian vision calling him to Europe (Acts 16:8-10). He later returned there for a week-long stay during which Eutychus fell from a window (Acts 20:5-12). Paul also mentions leaving a cloak and parchments at Troas (2 Tim 4:13). The name passes unchanged through every language -- Spanish, French, German, and English all render it simply as Troas.
