ΑΜΑΝΤΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΛΒΑΝΙΑ
The modern city lies on a high ridge between the Gulf of Orikon and
the lower Aous valley, just below a city of the Hellenistic and Roman periods,
ringed by a circuit wall ca. 2200 m long in ashlar style. Residential districts
extended outside the circuit. A late Hellenistic stadium with steps on three sides
has been excavated, and built tombs of Macedonian type have been opened. The site
has yielded fine heads of Alexander and Dodonaean Zeus in marble and limestone,
architectural members, sculptured reliefs, and coins of Hellenistic and Roman
times. The name of this city, situated in the territory of the Amantes, is unknown;
some suppose it to be Amantia, but that city lay probably on the route down the
Aous valley (see Klos).
