Iamphorina
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iamphorina or Iamphorynna was the capital of the Maedi, a Thracian tribe in ancient Macedonia. Stephanus of Byzantium, citing Diodorus, has the name as Phorunna or Phorounna (Ancient Greek: Φόρουννα).[1][2] It was taken by Philip V of Macedon in 211 BCE.[3] Writing in the 19th century, William Martin Leake placed it at Ivorina (Vrania), in the upper valley of the Morava River.[4] Although, per modern scholars it is unlocated,[2] per Aleksandar Fol it was located near the village of Dragovishtitsa, Kyustendil Province, whose old name was Yamborano.[5]
