Smila (Macedonia)
Ancient city in Chalkidiki, Greece
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Smila (Ancient Greek: Σμίλα), also spelt Smilla (Σμίλλα), was an ancient Greek polis (city-state) in the Chalcidice, ancient Macedonia. It is cited by Herodotus as one of the cities - together with Lipaxus, Combreia, Lisaea, Gigonus, Campsa, Aeneia - located in the vicinity of the Thermaic Gulf, in a region called Crusis near the peninsula of Pallene where Xerxes recruited troops in his expedition of the year 480 BCE against Greece.[1] Subsequently the city belonged to the Delian League since it appears on a tribute list to Athens in 434/3 BCE.[2]
Its site is unlocated.[3]
