Ancient Settlement in Northern Greece

The literary tradition dates the foundation of Argilos to 655/654 B.C. which makes Argilos the earliest Greek colony on the Thracian coast. Argilos occupied a privileged area and thus benefited from the trading activities along the Strymona and probably also from the gold mines of the Pangeion. Ancient authors rarely mentioned the site, but nevertheless shed some light on the important periods of its history, seeming to indicate that the city enjoyed economic prosperity, at least until the foundation of Amphipolis in 437 B.C. In the last quarter of the 6th century B.C., Argilos founded two colonies, Tragilos, in the Thracian heartland, and Kerdilion, a few kilometres to the east of the city.
