Thymiaterium or Thymiaterion (),Periplus of Hanno, 2 called Thymiaterias (Θυμιατηρίας) by Scylax,Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854), Thymiaterion was an ancient Carthaginian colony in present-day Morocco. The Periplus (Περίπλους) of Hanno the Navigator claims that he founded it on his journey of exploration beyond the Pillars of Hercules.Hanno: Carthaginian Explorer
According to Hanno, he founded the colony, the first of his journey, two days' sail past the Pillars of Hercules.Hanno the Navigator (2) Schoff, citing Karl Müller, identified it with the town of Mehedia, currently known as Mehdya. The location of Thymiaterium is also given at Mehedia in the Atlas of Ancient & Classical Geography. Hanno may have been deliberately vague about the location of colonies he founded to prevent enemies of Carthage from finding them.B. H. Warmington, Carthage, p. 64, New York: Frederick A. Praeger, 1960
