History
According to Apollodorus, Archelaos relocated the population of coastal ancient Pydna (q.v.), remains of which lie on the southern edge of modern Marygialos, to a new, inland site. Scholars believe that, by the Roman era, this site had become or moved to the area of modern Kitros, although no definitive urban center has yet been identified. Several locations between Marygialos, Kitros, and Alonia (further inland and north of Kitros) have produced related funerary material and epigraphy.
