Apollonia Pontica, a Greek city on the coast of the EUXINE (Black) Sea (BA 22 E6), modern Sozopol in Bulgaria. A colony of MILETUS founded in the late seventh century BCE (Gorman 2001, 251), Apollonia was the first major HARBOR for ships sailing north from the Thracian BOSPORUS and also stood at the end of land routes from the AEGEAN coast and the Balkan interior (Isaac 1986, 241–47). Herodotus only mentions the city twice in passing (4.90.2, 93) as he describes the campaign of DARIUS I against the SCYTHIANS. After the Greco‐Persian wars, Apollonia may have been a member of the DELIAN LEAGUE: it appears on the Athenian Tribute Lists in 425/4 (IG I³ 71.IV.128).
