ΕΥΡΥΜΕΝΕΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΙΩΑΝΝΙΝΑ
An early and important city (EphArch [1956] 1f; D.S. 19.88), most
probably identified with the largest site in the plain of Ioannina, a craggy limestone
ridge called Kastritsa on the S side of the Lake of Ioannina. It was defended
by a massive circuit wall ca. 3000 m long and was densely inhabited. The fortifications
were extended at various periods and include gateways and towers of different
kinds. It stands at a nodal point in the communications of Epeiros. The area has
yielded Prehistoric, Classical, and Hellenistic pottery.
