History

Antiquity

About two kilometers north of Krinida, in the sites of “Toumba” or “Palia vouna”, there was a Roman settlement, dependent administratively on the Roman colony of Philippi.[1] in this place was found fragments of Roman pottery and a Latin inscription (of imperial times), which mentions a Roman settler of Philippi. In the place "Palia ecclesia" was also found a Greek votive inscription in the "Hero of Avlonitis" (3rd century AD), where are mentioned Thracian and Roman names.[2] The existence of Thracian population allows the conclusion that the settlement existed before the Roman conquest and belonged to the ancient Edonis.
