Historia
Aeginium (Latin) or Aiginion was an ancient Greek settlement in the northwest of Thessaly. By the 19th century, evidence of its existence had been reduced to scant mention in several literary fragments from the encyclopedic classical authors: Strabo, Livy, Ptolemy, Pliny the Elder, Stephanus of Byzantium. It appeared to have been troublesome to the Roman Republic. Julius Caesar said it was "over against Thessaly." Strabo said it was at "the confluence of the Ion River with the Peneus, which was in Thessaly. Pliny the Elder said it was in Pieria, but he didn't say which. Ptolemy gave coordinates, but his coordinates produce a map that is grossly distorted. In short, no one knew any longer where Aeginium had been, or how long it had been there. The same case was true of Agassae, which seemed to be equally troublesome to Rome.
