Orthagoria ( Ancient Greek: Ὀρθαγορία) or Orthagoreia (Ὀρθαγορεία) was an ancient Greek [1] town of ancient Thrace, located on the coast of the Aegean Sea. Pliny the Elder says Ortagurea (perhaps the same as Orthagoria) was the old name of Maroneia, [2] but Strabo places both cities successively in the Thracian region. [3] Some have suggested that Orthagoria was the ancient name of Stageira. [4]
Coins minted by Orthagoria of silver and bronze, with the inscription ΟΡΘΑΓΟΡΕΩΝ, are preserved. [1]
Its site is unlocated. [5]
