Antigonia Psaphara

Antigonia Psaphara

Antigonia Psaphara or Antigonia ( _el. 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.)
