Bottiaea
Historical region in Imathia, Macedonia, Greece
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bottiaea (Greek: Βοττιαία Bottiaia) was a geographical region of Lower Macedonia and an administrative district of the Macedonian Kingdom. It was previously inhabited by the Bottiaeans, a people of uncertain origin, later expelled by the Makedones into Bottike (Chalcidice). In Roman times it was replaced by Emathia as a geographical term.
Geography
Bottiaea comprised the northeastern part of Imathia and the area between the Loudias and the Axios Rivers (the western area of today's Giannitsa) in modern Pella (regional unit).
