Historical background


AEOLIS - AEGAE

(2nd century BC)

Aegae appears in history for coinage in the 3rd century BC. The city was located at the foot of the mountains inland on the Pythikos River. The remains of the city were excavated in the 19th century and temples, a theatre, a stadium, a market, a bouleuterion and a necropolis were discovered there. the city although cited by Herodotus (I, 149) never had a political or economic role. The city does not seem to have belonged to the League of Delos. It is still named by Polybius. The city was destroyed by an earthquake in 17 AD and restored by Tiberius.
