Allaria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Allaria (Ancient Greek: Ἀλλαρία)[1] was a town and polis (city-state)[2] of ancient Crete.[3] Allaria minted coins bearing on the obverse the head of Athena Pallas, and on the reverse a figure of Heracles standing, some of which have been preserved.[2] Cnopias of Allaria, a native, commanded Cretan mercenaries hired by the Ptolemaic Army at the Battle of Raphia (217 BCE).[4]
