Egnatia

Also known as Gnathia

Egnatia, or Gnathia, was an ancient city on the Adriatic coast of Apulia, southern Italy, between Bari and Brindisi. A Messapian town, it later became a Roman municipium on the Via Traiana and gave its name to Gnathia ware, a type of painted pottery of the fourth and third centuries BCE. Its excavated remains include walls, a forum and early Christian basilicas.
