Sperchiae
Lua error in Module:Coordinates at line 489: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value). Sperchiae or Sperchiai (Ancient Greek: Σπέρχεια) or Spercheiae or Spercheiai (Σπερχείαι)[1] was a fortress in Ainis in ancient Thessaly, which, according to the description of Livy, would seem to have been situated at no great distance from the sources of the Spercheius.[2] Ptolemy mentions a place Spercheia between Echinus and Thebes in Phthiotis;[3] and Pliny the Elder places Sperchios in Doris.[4] William Smith concludes it probable that these three names indicate the same place.[5] Livy relates that the place was destroyed by the Aetolians in 198 BCE.[2]
Sperchiae's site is at a place called Kastrorakhi.[6][7]
