City in the northern PELOPONNESE, less than five miles inland from the Corinthian Gulf (BA 58 C1; Müller I, 753–54), one of the twelve cities/regions (merē) of the Achaeans. Herodotus names Bura as one of the original twelve CITIES of the IONIANS, before they were forced to migrate to Asia Minor by the Achaeans (1.145). Bura was heavily damaged by an EARTHQUAKE in 373 BCE but rebuilt by citizens who had been away on military campaign (Paus. 7.25.8–9).
