Idomenae

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Idomenae is an archaeological site located near the village of Marvinci, close to Valandovo, Republic of Macedonia. Idomenae dates from the 7th century B.C.

[edit] History

At its beginning, Idomenae was about 5,000 square km big. An acropolis with defensive walls was built, a pottery building was also built, and so were other buildings. The people in this town traded a lot with the Asia Minor, which is evidenced by the facts that much of the material found on pottery here was used in graves in Asia Minor. There are also many amphoras from the islands of Thassos and Rhodos.
