Phaloria

Phaloria or Phaloreia (Ancient Greek: Φαλώρεια) or Phalore (Φαλώρη) was a town and polis (city-state) of Histiaeotis in ancient Thessaly, apparently between Tricca and the Macedonian frontier.

This prompted the nearby cities of Cierium and of Metropolis to send embassies offering to surrender of their cities.
