Modern Italian has the adjective ''Egea'' ("Aegean"), but Classical Latin had none. Modern botanical Latin sometimes uses the Specific Epithet ''aegea'' to mean "of the Aegean". Modern usages include "Aegea" as a Turkish socio-geographic term for the Aegean basin and the nations around it, as in " Izmir , pearl of Aegea." Geologists also use "Aegea" to describe the fragmentary rotating crustal block that supports mainland Greece and the Aegean basin, as a parallel to " Anatolia ." This block is rotating counter-clockwise and is being strongly subducted into a line of trenches south of Crete . Near another city of Aegea, in Euboea , Poseidon had his watery palace. Aegea or Aiyai is the ancient name for modern Ayas , Turkey . " Fort Aegea " is a fantasy role-playing game. External links
