Antigonia Psaphara

Antigonia Psaphara or Antigoneia Psaphara (Ancient Greek: Ἀντιγόνεια Ψαφαρά), or simply Antigonia, Antigonea, or Antigoneia (Ἀντιγόνεια) was a Hellenistic city in Macedon in the district Crusis (Krousis) in Chalcidice, placed by Livy between Aeneia and Pallene.[1] It is called Psaphara by Ptolemy[2] probably in order to distinguish it from Antigonia in Paeonia.[3]

The site of Antigonia Psaphara is about 3 miles (5 km) north of Nea Kallikrateia.[4][5]
