Idomenae (Greek: Ἰδομεναί, possibly from Ἰδομενεύς - Idomeneues[1]) was an ancient Paeonian town and now an archaeological site located near the village of Marvinci, near Valandovo, modern Republic of Macedonia. Idomenae dates from the 7th century BC[citation needed]

History

At its beginning, Idomenae was about 5,000 km2 big.[citation needed] An acropolis with defensive walls was built, a pottery building was also built, and so were other buildings.[citation needed] The people in this town traded a lot with the Asia Minor, which is evidenced by the facts that much of the material found on pottery here was used in graves in Asia Minor.[citation needed] There are also many amphoras from the islands of Thassos and Rhodos.[citation needed]
