The main towns of Crestonia were Creston (''Crestone'') and " Gallicum " (Romanized name). The region, along with Mygdonia, was held by Paionians for a time, later by Thracians. At the time of the invasion of Xerxes , Crestonia was ruled by an independent Thracian prince ( Herodotus , 8. 116). By the time of the commencement of the Peloponnesian War , Crestonia had been annexed to the kingdom of Macedon . Today, ancient Crestonia is comprehended within the prefectures of Kilkis and part of north Thessaloniki in Greece . |
