About

Tripolis (Ancient Greek: Τρίπολις, lit. 'three cities') or Tripolis Larisaia (Τρίπολις Λαρισαῖα), also called Scaea (Τρίπολις Σκαιὰ), was an ancient city in the Pelasgiotis in Thessaly, Greece, on the Peneus (Peneios) river, situated approximately 5 km to the east of Larissa. During the Third Macedonian War, the Romans under Publius Licinius camped here on the march to Larissa (171 BCE). Its site is tentatively located near Platykampos.
