Clitae (Macedonia)

Clitae or Klitai (Ancient Greek: Κλῖται) was a town of ancient Macedonia, the site of the Roman breakthrough of the Macedonian line during the Roman conquest of Macedonia.[1] Some have identified the town as the Chaetae (Χαῖται) – "Κλ" being mistaken for "Χα" – in Ptolemy.[2]

Macedonia and the Chalcidice

In Delphic Theorodochoi inscription (230 BC) which was published by André Plassart, there is an inscription of a man who was named Phaneas Solonos (Ancient Greek: Φ̣ανέας Σόλωνος) from Clitae.[3]

The site of Clitae is located near modern Pikrolimne.[4][5]
