Idomenae

Idomenae or Idomenai (Ancient Greek: Ἰδομεναί, possibly from Ἰδομενεύς - Idomeneus), also known as Eidomene or Idomene, or Eidomenae or Eidomenai, or Idomenia, was a town of ancient Macedonia, now located in North Macedonia [1]. The ruins at Isar, Marvinci are believed to be the ancient Macedonian town of Idomenae, which first appeared in documentation in the 5th century BC during the Peloponnesian War [1]. It sits on a hill above the Vardar River [1]. This was a fortified settlement formed near the springs of the river [1]. It later became a Roman city [1]. Sitalces, king of Thrace, on his route from Thrace to Macedonia, crossed Mount Cercine, leaving the Paeones on his right, and the Sinti and Maedi on his left, and descended upon the long river Axius at Idomenae [1].
