KROMI (Ancient city) FALESSIA
Cromnus, Kromoi, Kromnos, Kromna. A town of Arcadia on the frontiers
of Messenia, the inhabitants of which were removed to Megalopolis, on the foundation
of the latter city in B.C. 371. Its territory is called Cromitis (Kromitis) by
Pausanias. It is placed by Boblaye at Neockhorio, but by Leake at Samara, a little
westward of Londari, since the latter writer conceives it to have been on the
route leading from Megalopolis to Carnasium, and not on the one leading to Messene.
