kingdom of axum

Summary

The Kingdom of Aksum (also known as the Kingdom of Axum or the Aksumite Empire) was a kingdom located in Northeast Africa and South Arabia from Classical antiquity to the Middle Ages. It was based primarily in what is now northern Ethiopia, and extended at its height into much of modern-day southern Arabia during the reign of King Kaleb. 1 The name Axum, or Akshum as it is sometimes referred to, may derive from a combination of two words. 2 The kingdom of Axum really started to take off around 350 CE, having already established some form of presence in the region. 2 The ancient city of Axum (sometimes called Axumis) is located at an altitude of over 2,000 metres. 2
