Ericinium


Ericinium or Ereikinion was a town and polis of Perrhaebia in ancient Thessaly, situated near the frontiers of Histiaeotis.
The existence of the town is attested by epigraphic evidence at least since the 4th century BCE. In the Roman-Seleucid War, in the year 191 BCE, it was taken from the Athamanians by the joint army commanded by the Roman Marcus Baebius Tamphilus and Philip V of Macedon.
Its location has been found at the modern village of Megalo Eleftherochori.
