Ichnae or Ichnai (Greek: Ἴχναι) an ancient town of Bottiaea, Macedonia on the Thermaic Gulf, above the mouth of Loudias river, near modern Koufalia ; built by the Macedonians according to Hazlitt, although Ichnaeans appear independently in epigraphy. Ichnai is called a polis in the urban sense in Herodotus 7.123.3 and in the political sense in a fragmentary and undated treaty between the city and Dicaea.〔 (MDAI(A) 27 (1902) 309,14/15 )〕 Coins of Ichnaeans, dated to 520-480 BC, carry a bull and wheel with crescentic lateral bars〔( Ancient Coinage of Thraco Macedonian Tribes, Ichnae ). See also http://www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de/item/UQGFAUYDE7K3U7XV5PZBOHTD6BGHHYTW. 〕 and are categorized to the Thraco-Macedonian type. According to Mogens Herman Hansen, Ichnae may have been an originally South Paeonian settlement,〔(cf. the mythological Amydon)〕 which already in Archaic times received an influx of Southern Greek colonists. After the Macedonian conquest, settlers from the Old kingdom were added and Ichnaeans may have participated in the Macedonian colonization of Amphipolis.〔(Meletemata 22, Epig. App. 91 ), 10 . witness named, Neon son of Ichnaios,〕 Two 3rd century BC reported Ichnaeans are: Antigonos son of Asandros, Delphian proxenos〔FD III 3:207 252/1 BC? 〕 Dies son of Alketas, Pythian theorodokos.〔BCH 1921:1 line 63 230-220 BC〕 There is also an undated epitaph in Athens of Eurydike daughter of Dadas, Ichnaian. There was also a town called Ichnae in Thessaly where Themis Ichnaia was worshipped. ==References== *Hazlitt, The Classical Gazetteer > page 181 *An inventory of archaic and classical poleis By Mogens Herman Hansen, Thomas Heine Nielsen Page 802 ISBN 978-0-19-814099-3 (2004) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ichnae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
