Antania

Antania (Ancient Greek: Αντανιάς, Macedonian: Антанија) was a town in ancient Macedonia.^[1] It was located in the region of Lyncestis. The town's name is connected with the tribe of Antanoi, whose existence is known only from an inscription found at Heraclea Lyncestis.^[2] In the late Roman period, Antania was an Episcopal seat. The ruins of the episcopal basilica and other structures were discovered near the present-day Chebren Monastery in the region of Mariovo, North Macedonia.
