History
Sycurium or Syk[o]yrion was a town of ancient Thessaly in the district of Pelasgiotis, at the foot of Mount Ossa. Livy writes that during the Third Macedonian War, Perseus of Macedon encamped at Sycurium, between Mount Ossa and the lower Peneus; it overlooked the plains of Thessaly and was not far from Larissa.
