View source for Stratonicea (Chalcidice)

'''Stratonicea''' or '''Stratonikeia''' ({{langx|grc|Στρατονίκεια}}), also '''Stratoniki''' (Στρατονίκη), was a town of [[Chalcidice]] in [[ancient Macedonia]]. It was a [[Hellenistic]] foundation, according to [[Claudius Ptolemy]], the city was located on the [[Singitic Gulf]].<ref>{{Cite Ptolemy|3.2.19}}</ref> However, recent excavations show the location of ancient Stratoniki to be at the site of the modern town of [[Stratoni]]. This shouldn't be confused with the modern town of Stratoniki which is located 9 km to the west, next to the modern town of [[Stageira Chalkidikis|Stagira]].
