Paeonia

Background

Paeonia was a kingdom that lay in the northern region of Greece in the area that is presently the Balkans. It lay even further north than the states Macedon and Thrace and had a culture very similar with those two states. It was originally inhabited by a group of people known as the Paeonians and the territory boundaries are not well known or established. The Kingdom of Paeonia now roughly corresponds with the current Kingdom of Macedonia near Bulgaria.
