Vasilika, Boeotia

Vasilika (Greek: Βασιλικά) is a small village in the prefecture of Boeotia, Greece.

Vasilika is built at the foot of the hill of Philoboiotos (Φιλοβοιωτός), where the Roman general Sulla assembled his troops prior to the Battle of Chaeronea, in 86 BC.

There, Sulla was victorious against the forces of Taxiles, who was fighting for the King of Pontus Mithridates.

To the west, about 400 meters away, scant ruins possibly indicate the temple of Asklepios Archagetes, mentioned by Pausanias.

In more recent times, Vasilika was the site of an anthropological study by Dr. Ernestine Friedl.
