Agora, Kassope (Cassope), Greece (3)

            Kassope is considered one of the best remaining examples of a city built on a rectilinear street grid of a Hippodamian plan in Greece.

The first settlements on the site are from the Paleolithic. However the city of Kassope was founded in the middle of the 4th century BC as the capital of the Kassopaeans, a sub-tribe of the Thesprotians. It belonged to the Aetolian League. Cassope or Cassopia is mentioned in the war carried on by Cassander against Alcetas II of Epirus, in 312 BC. The city flourished in the 3rd century BC, when large public buildings were built. Kassope also minted its own coins.

It was destroyed by Roman forces in 168-167 BC Kassope was abandoned in 31 B.C. when the remaining inhabitants resettled to Nikopolis the region's new capital.
