Cultural and Historical Background: Klauda, also known as Cauda or Gaudos in ancient texts, was a minor island in the Roman Empire's maritime routes. It was strategically significant for sailors navigating the treacherous waters of the Mediterranean. The island provided a temporary shelter for ships caught in storms, as was the case during the Apostle Paul's voyage to Rome. The region around Crete, including Klauda, was known for its unpredictable weather and strong winds, which posed challenges to ancient seafaring.
