Arisba (Lesbos)
Ancient city on island of Lesbos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arisba or Arisbe (Ancient Greek: Ἀρίσβη) was a town in ancient Lesbos, which Herodotus speaks of as being taken by the Methymnaei.[1][2] Pliny the Elder says it was destroyed by an earthquake.[3]
It is located near modern Arisvi.[4][5] The German survey in the late 19th century created the first and only topographic plan of the visible remains, which include megaron style houses (i.e. porch and main room).
