Apollonia (Mygdonia)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apollonia (Mygdonia) in the north, not to be confused with Apollonia (Chalcidice) in the south.

Apollonia (Ancient Greek: Ἀπολλωνία) was a town of Mygdonia in Macedon, south of Lake Bolbe,[1] and north of the Chalcidian mountains, on the road from Thessalonica to Amphipolis, as we learn from the Acts of the Apostles,[2] and the Itineraries.[3][4] Pliny the Elder mentions this Apollonia.[5]

The site of Apollonia is near the modern Néa Apollonía.[6][7]
