Hellenistic city at Florina

• Λιλιμπάκη - Ακαμάτη, Μαρία
• Ακαμάτης, Ιωάννης Μιχ.

The archaeological investigation on St. Panteleemon hill at Fiorina yielded part of Hellenistic settlement with rural and industrial character. Three building-blocks divided by narrow streets were found. Each one consists of three houses which communicate: each one comprises three or four rooms with hearths, storerooms and rooms for the processing of various products. A kiln for metal products was also discovered. The pottery, consisting mainly of vases with relief decoration and black-glazedones, are closely related or probably come from workshops of Pella. The great quantity of loom weights imply developed textile industry, while the discovery of extended storerooms with pithoi, suggests the abundance of the cereals, which were not consumed only locally. The city was destroyed by fire in the second half of the 2nd or the beginning of the 1st centuries B.C. Trial trenches, however, yielded finds which imply that the city existed in the period of king Philip II at the same location; it was probably founded during the northward expansion of the Macedonians under Philip II.
