Lamia

Lamia is a city in valuable Greece. The city dates again to antiquity, and is today the capital of the nearby unit of Phthiotis and of the Central Greece place. Archaeological excavations have shown the web site of Lamia to had been inhabited since at least the Bronze Age third millennium BC. In Antiquity, the town performed an essential role due to its strategic vicinity, controlling the narrow coastal plain above Thermopylae that linked southern Greece with Thessaly and the rest of the Balkans. The metropolis formed a polis metropolis-country. The town became consequently fortified within the 5th century BC, and was contested with the aid of the Macedonians, Thessalians and Aetolians till the Roman conquest inside the early 2nd century BC.

After Alexander the Great's dying in 323 BC, the Athenians and other Greeks rebelled towards Macedonian overlordship. Antipatros, the regent of Macedon, took shelter behind the sizable walls of the city Lamian War, 323–322 BC. The warfare ended with the loss of life of the Athenian wellknown Leosthenes, and the arrival of a 20,000-sturdy Macedonian military. Lamia prospered afterwards, mainly within the 3rd century beneath Aetolian hegemony, which came to an end whilst Manius Acilius Glabrio sacked the city.
