Aesa

Aesa or Aisa (Ancient Greek: Αἶσα) was a town of ancient Macedonia. Aesa belonged to the Delian League since it appears on a tribute list to Athens in 434/3 BCE.[1] The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World identify Aesa with Lisaea, a city mentioned by Herodotus but otherwise unknown in other sources.[2]

For the acronym, see AESA (disambiguation).
For the genus of beetles, see Prioninae.

The site of Aesa is tentatively located near modern Nea Kallikrateia.[2][3]
