About Apollonia, Albania
Apollonia was founded around 588 BCE by settlers from Corinth and Corcyra as a Greek colony on the Illyrian coast. It grew into a prosperous city with a renowned school of philosophy, where the future emperor Augustus studied as a young man. It later served as a key point along the Via Egnatia linking Rome to its eastern provinces.
