Antigonia Psaphara

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Antigonia Psaphara or Antigonia (Greek: Αντιγόνεια) also transliterated as Antigonea and Antigoneia was a Hellenistic city in Macedon in the district Crusis (Krousis) in Chalcidice, placed by Livy between Aeneia and Pallene. (Liv. xliv. 10.) It is called by Ptolemy (iii. 13. § 38) Psaphara (Psaphara) probably in order to distinguish it from Antigonia in Paeonia. (Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iii. p. 460.)
