Pronnoi

Pronnoi (Ancient Greek: Πρόννοι),[1] also known as Pronesus or Pronesos (Πρωνῆσος),[2] was one of the four towns of Cephallenia, situated upon the southeastern coast.

Together with the other towns of Cephallenia it joined the Athenian alliance in 431 BCE.

[3] It is described by Polybius as a small fortress; but it was so difficult to besiege that Philip V of Macedon did not venture to attack it, but sailed against Pale.

[1] Livy, in his account of the surrender of Cephallenia to the Romans in 189 BCE, speaks of the Nesiotae, Cranii, Palenses, and Samaei.

[2] Pronnoi or Pronesus was one of the three towns which continued to exist in the island after the destruction of Same.

Remains of a Roman villa at Pronnoi.
