Pelinna

Pelinna was situated between Tricca and Pharcadon, near modern Palaiogardiki (Trikala regional unit).

The city gained particular prominence in the fourth century BCE through its alliance with Philip II of Macedon.

[9] Among other archaeological evidence of the religious significance of Pelinna are two Orphic gold tablets (lamellae) found in 1985 on the site of Petroporos,[10] dating to the late fourth century BCE.

William Martin Leake, describing the situation in the 19th century, stated that "the city occupied the face of a rocky height, together with a large quadrangular space at the foot of it on the south.

"[16] Joseph Hilarius Eckhel writes that the coins of this town bore the inscription Πεληναῖον.
