Iamphorina
(Redirected from Iamphorynna)
Iamphorina or Iamphorynna was the capital of the Maedi, a Thracian tribe in ancient Macedonia. It was taken by Philip V of Macedon in 211 BCE.[1] Writing in the 19th century, William Martin Leake placed it at Ivorina (Vrania), in the upper valley of the Morava River.[2] Modern scholars treat it as unlocated.[3] Stephanus of Byzantium, citing Diodorus, has the name as Phorunna or Phorounna (Ancient Greek: Φόρουννα).[4][3]
