The Ionian Islands in 218 B.C.

The Ionian Islands — Aetolian League.

The league’s island wing in the Ionian Sea — the four cities of Cephallenia (Sami, Pale, Pronnoi, Krane), rocky Ithaca of Odysseus, and wooded Zacynthus — naval stations astride the sea-road between Italy and Greece. Pale famously threw back a Macedonian assault in 218.
