Phila_(Pieria)
Phila (Ancient Greek: Φίλα) was a fortified town of Macedon in Pieria toward Magnesia, 5 M.P from Herakleion on the way toward Tempe Vale. According to Stephanus of Byzantium, it was built by Demetrius II Aetolicus, and named after his mother Phila.[1] It was occupied by the Romans when their army had penetrated into Pieria by the passes of Mount Olympus from Thessaly.[2]
The site of Phila is tentatively located near modern Pyrgetos.[3][4]
