ΠΙΕΡΙΑ (Αρχαία περιοχή) ΚΕΝΤΡΙΚΗ ΜΑΚΕΔΟΝΙΑ
Agassa or Agasae, a town in Pieria in Macedonia, near the river Mitys.
Livy, in relating the campaign of B.C. 169 against Perseus, says that the Roman
consul made three days' march beyond Dium, the first of which terminated at the
river Mitys, the second at Agassa, and the third at the river Ascordus. The last
appears to be the same as the Acerdos, which occurs in the Tabular Itinerary,
though not marked as a river. Leake supposes that the Mitys was the river of Katerina,
and that Acerdos was a tributary of the Haliacmon. (Liv. xliv. 7, xlv. 27; Leake,
Northern Greece, vol. iii. p. 423, seq.)

A river of Pieria in Macedonia, which the Roman army, in the third campaign against
Perseus, under Q. Marcius, reached on the first day after their occupation of
Dium. (Liv. xliv. 7.) The Mitys was perhaps the river of Katerina. (Leake, North.
Greece, vol. iii. p. 424.)
