Antiquity Just to the west of the present village, at the "Frangala" site, remains have been found (architectural members and inscriptions) of an ancient city, which is identified with the ancient
Thracian city of
Drabeskos in
Edonis. The mention of the city by
Strabo and
Appian testifies to its existence in the
Roman antiquity, since it was probably downgraded to a simple settlement (kome) depended administratively from the nearby
Amphipolis. ==References==
