Cassope
Cassope ( - ''Kassōpē'', also Κασσωπία - ''Kassōpia'' and Κασσιόπη - ''Kassiopē'') was an ancient Greek city〔An Inventory of Archaic and Classical Poleis: An Investigation Conducted by The Copenhagen Polis Centre for the Danish National Research Foundation by Mogens Herman Hansen, 2005, page 346〕 in Epirus, today in the Preveza regional unit. Cassope is situated on the south-east slopes of the Zalongo mountain, near the village of Kamarina. It is built on the edge of a cliff, which dragged down a part of the site when it collapsed.〔Guide Bleu, ''Greece''. Hachette Livre, 2000. p. 627.〕 It is considered one of the best remaining examples of a city built along the lines of a Hippodamian plan in Greece.〔
==History==
First settlements on site are known from the Paleolithic, however the prominent city of Cassope was founded in the middle of the 4th century BC〔 and served as the capital of the ''Cassopaeans'', a sub-tribe of the Thesprotians. It belonged to the Aetolian League.〔 It flourished in the 3rd century BC, when large public buildings were built. Cassope also minted its own coins. It was destroyed by Roman forces in 168-167 BC〔(Cassope page ) of the Hellenic Ministry of Culture〕 Cassope was abandoned in 31 B.C. when the remaining inhabitants resettled to Nikopolis.〔
