Ericinium or Ereikinion ( Ancient Greek: Ἐρεικίνιον) was a town and polis (city-state) of Perrhaebia in ancient Thessaly, [1] situated near the frontiers of Histiaeotis. [2]
The existence of the town is attested by epigraphic evidence at least since the 4th century BCE. [1] In the Roman-Seleucid War, in the year 191 BCE, it was taken from the Athamanians by the joint army commanded by the Roman Marcus Baebius Tamphilus and Philip V of Macedon. [3]
Its location has been found at the modern village of Megalo Eleftherochori. [1] [4] [5]
