Agora

Gelibolu, Turkey

Agora (Ἀ), also called Cherronesos or Chersonesos (; IPA (key): /kʰer.ró.nɛː.sos/, /kʰer.só.nɛː.sos/), was an ancient Greek town in Thrace. It was situated about the middle of the narrow neck of the Thracian Chersonese (called today Gallipoli peninsula), and not far from Cardia, in what is now European Turkey. It was a colony of Athens, founded between 561 and 556 BCE, and a member of the Delian League. It is known for its series of tyrants in antiquity. Xerxes, when invading Greece in 480 BCE, passed through it. Its site is tentatively located near modern Bolayır, Turkey.
