Sycurium

Sycurium or Syk[o]yrion was a town of ancient Thessaly in the district of Pelasgiotis, at the foot of Mount Ossa [1]. Livy writes that during the Third Macedonian War, Perseus of Macedon encamped at Sycurium, between Mount Ossa and the lower Peneus; it overlooked the plains of Thessaly and was not far from Larissa [1]. Its location is near the modern village of Neromylo Agias [1]. Archaeology has revealed an acropolis with 5th century BCE fortifications and no defensive wall of the lower town [1].
