Orthagoria

Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

ORTHAGO´RIA(Ὀρθαγορία), a town of Macedonia, of which coins are extant. Pliny (Plin. Nat. 4.11. s. 18) says that Ortagurea was the ancient name of Maroneia; but we learn from an ancient geographer (Hudson, Geogr. Min. vol. 4. p. 42) that Orthagoria was the ancient name of Stageira, to which accordingly the coins are assigned. (Eckhel, vol. 2. p. 73.) COIN OF ORTHAGORIA.
