It became the capital of the coastal region, encompassing Acarnania and Epirus, and was famous for its buildings and for the Actian Games. Destroyed in the 4th century AD and rebuilt, it was finally destroyed by Bulgarians in the 11th century. Its ruins include a basilica, a Roman theatre, and an aqueduct.
