Pydna |
 | | Pydna was an Greek port on the Aegaean Sea, north of the sacred mountain Olympus, in a district that was called Pieria. |
| | Pydna was again the scene of an important event in the year 168, when the Roman commander Lucius Aemilius Paullus defeated the Macedonian king Perseus (below), which meant the end of the independence of the old kingdom. |
| | As many as 20,000 men perished; 6000 who had fled to Pydna fell into the enemy's hands, and 5000 were made prisoners in their flight. |
