Bylazora
Encyclopedia : B : BY : BYL : Bylazora
Bylazora was a city of the Paionians, situated along the banks of the Axios (Vardar) river in ancient Paionia (the region is now part of the Republic of Macedonia). In pre-Roman times, it was the chief town and seat of the Paionian kings, a major Paionian city, along with Stobi.
Paeonia was later conquered by Macedon and later still by Rome, and the city eventually waned away. The modern Veles is located on the site of ancient Bylazora.
