Deriana
Deriana or Daryanah (Arabic: دريانة) is a town in the Benghazi District, of the Cyrenaica region in northeastern Libya. It is located 32 km (20 mi) east of Benghazi.
The town's name probably came from the ancient Roman city Hadrianopolis (Ancient Greek: Ἁδριανούπολις), also known as Hadriane (Ancient Greek: Ἀδριανή), which was located near present-day Deriana.
Because of a lack of archaeological evidence at Deriana, Gareth Angelbeck, a South African archaeologist, suggests that Hadrian's city was located at the more archaeologically promising Wadi Jawbiyah site, a few kilometers inland from Deriana.
