PAUTALIA Paeoniae sive Thraciae.
Notf.—Eckhel describes an autonomous coin of this town, according to which the name was
Pantalia ; but on the imperial it is constantly IIAYTAAIA, or the city tuv TlavTaXiuTuv,
and after the reign of Antoninus Pius generally Ulpia Pautalia. On the specimen described by
the reverse of a Pautalia of the
Eckhel, the legend is IIANTAAEQ. EN IIAIQ., i. e. in Pseonia ;
reign of Caracalla, represents a river god, with the legend CTPYMQN. Taking these evidences as
to the situation of Pautalia, together with that of the Tabular Itinerary, which places it on the road
that Pautalia is now
from Philippopolis to Stobi, by Astibon, now Istib, it becomes highly probable
represented by Ghiustendil, which occupies a plain near the sources of the Stryraon. On the
