Storia
Malloea or Maloea or Mallaea or Malloia was a town and polis (city-state) of southern Perrhaebia in ancient Thessaly. It is quoted by Livy that the town surrendered to the army of Aetolian League in 200 BCE. Again, during the Roman-Seleucid War, it was seized by an army of Aetolians under Menippus in 191 BCE. and shortly afterward it was attacked by the army of Philip V of Macedon. Upon the arrival of Roman troops, who were then allies of Philip, Malloea surrendered. In 185 BCE, the Perrhaebians requested the return of Malloea, Ericinium and Gonnocondylum, which Philip had renamed Olympias. In 171 BCE, during the Third Macedonian War, the town was taken and looted by the Romans.
