Ancient Village or Settlement in Northern Greece and Macedonia
After the destruction of Old Pleuron the inhabitants founded a new city (ἡ νεωτέρα Πλευρών), situated at the foot of Mount Aracynthus. The founder of the city was most probably Pantaleon of Pleuron, strategos of the Aetolian League in 242/41, 235/34, 228/27, 222/21 and 214/13 BCE. Some time after the defeat of the Aetolian League in the Roman–Seleucid War, the citizens of Pleuron asked the Roman Senate a special permission to join the Achaean League. After the Achaean defeat and the destruction of Corinth in 146 BCE Pleuron became part of the Roman Republic.
