Calliae
Calliae or Kalliai (Ancient Greek: Καλλίαι), also known as Callia or Kallia (Καλλία), was a village of ancient Arcadia, located near Tegea. With Dipoena and Nonacris, it formed the Arcadian Tripolis.[1] Its population was translated to the newly formed city of Megalopolis upon the foundation of the latter city in 371 BCE. Its site is unlocated.[2]
