Kallatis, Thrace, c. 300 - 100 B.C.
|Kallatis|, |Kallatis,| |Thrace,| |c.| |300| |-| |100| |B.C.|, "Kallatis was an apoikia of Pontic Heraklea and was founded in accordance with an oracle at the time when Amyntas was the ruler of Macedonia.4 While scholars do not doubt the foundation of Kallatis by Heraklea, the date of its establishment is a matter of debate though, since it is not clear if Ps. Schymnos was writing about Amyntas I or Amyntas III. Amyntas I ruled in the second part of 6th century, while Amyntas III ruled between 393 and 370/69 BCE. Romanian scholars favor the earliest date although there is no clear archaeological evidence to prove this. When it comes to the territory of Kallatis, the earliest archaeological findings are dated in the 4th century BCE. If the earliest date is accepted, it means that Kallatis was the earliest Megarian colony on the western shore of the Black Sea."-- Greek cities on the western coast of the Black Sea:Orgame, Histria, Tomis, and Kallatis (7th to 1stcentury BCE) by Smaranda Andrews
