Sycurium

Sycurium or Syk[o]yrion (Ancient Greek: Συκ[ο]ύριον) was a town of ancient Thessaly in the district of Pelasgiotis, at the foot of Mount Ossa.

[1][2] Livy writes that during the Third Macedonian War, Perseus of Macedon encamped at Sycurium, between Mount Ossa and the lower Peneus; it overlooked the plains of Thessaly and was not far from Larissa.

[2] Its location is near the modern village of Neromylo Agias (or Neromyli).

[3][4] Archaeology has revealed an acropolis with 5th century BCE fortifications and no defensive wall of the lower town.
