In the last few days, we have been based in Veroia, with its rich history. We visited the wonderful sites of Dion and Aigai (Vergina). It was interesting to see the palace, now open to visitors. We needed some shade after that! @nicholsone99.bsky.social #AntigonidNetwork #AncientMacedonia

It is a great pleasure to be back in Greece with @nicholsone99.bsky.social #AntigonidNetwork. We started with a fruitful meeting at the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki, located the street and square of the Antigonids (a roundabout really), and visited the amazing Agios Athanasios tomb.
