Panactum Explained

Panactum or Panakton (Greek, Ancient (to 1453);: Πάνακτον) was a fortress on the frontiers of ancient Attica and Boeotia. Ancient Athenians and Boeotians frequently fought over this.[1] In 304 BC, Demetrius I Poliorketes took the fortress after a siege.[2] [3]

The site of Panactum is located between modern Panakto and Prasino (formerly, Kavasala).
