Description


Phoenice

Phoenice or Phoenike (Greek: Φοινίκη) was an ancient Greek city in Epirus and capital of the Chaonians.[2] It was also the location of the Treaty of Phoenice which ended the First Macedonian War,[3] as well as one of the wealthiest cities in Epirus until the Roman conquest.[4] During the early Byzantine period, Phoenice was the see of a bishopric. The city is an archaeological park of Albania and is located on a hill above a modern town which bears the same name, Finiq, in modern southern Albania.[2]
