Oetaea
Oetaea (
Hypata was their chief town.[6] Besides Hypata, which was the only place of importance in Oetaea, we find mention of Sperchiae and Macra Come by Livy,[7] and of Sosthenis (Σωσθενίς), Homilae (Ὅμιλαι), Cypaera (Κύπαιρα) and Phalachthia (Φαλαχθία) by Ptolemy.[8]
Oetaea formed a political unit in antiquity. It minted silver and bronze coins with the following legends: «ΟΙΤ», «ΟΙΤΑ», «ΟΙΤΑΩΝ», and «ΟΙΤΑΙΩΝ».[9]
