Antigonia Psaphara

Background

Antigonia Psaphara (Greek: Αντιγόνεια) also written as Antigonea or Antigoneia was a major Antigonid settlement located in the Kingdom of Macedon in Chalcidice. According to the Roman historian Livy it was located between Aeneia and Pallene. The settlement is called Psaphara by Ptolemy to possibly distinguish it from nearby Antigonia in Paeonia.
