Who this is
Adria, or the sea of Adria, refers to the central Mediterranean waters between Crete, Sicily, and Malta through which Paul's ship drifted during the storm before his shipwreck (Acts 27:27). In the first century the term covered this broader stretch of sea rather than only the modern Adriatic between Italy and the Balkans.
