Epirus in antiquity
Torybeia (Ancient Greek: Τορύβεια) was a city in ancient Acarnania. It is known mainly through epigraphic evidence. Mention is made of the appointment of theorodokos of Torybeia, about the year 356/5 BCE to receive the theoroi of Epidaurus[1] and also an inscription dated to around 330 BCE to accommodate those of Argos.[2] It was one of the cities belonging to the Acarnanian League around 272 BCE.[3]
Its site is tentatively located near the modern Komboti.[4][5]
