CLEITOR, or CLITOR

This article appears in Volume V06, Page 481 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CHR-CLI
CLEITOR, or CLITOR , a town of ancient
Greece
 , in that
part
  of
Arcadia
  which corresponds to the modern eparchy of Kalavryta in the nomos of Ells and Achaea. It stood in a fertile plain to the
south
  of Mt Chelmos, the highest
peak
  of the Aroanian
u1. r6Mountains, and not far from a stream of its own name, which joined the Aroanius, or Katzana. In the neighbourhood was a fountain, the waters of which were said to deprive those who drank them of the
taste
  for wine. The town was a place of considerable importance in
Arcadia
 , and its inhabitants were noted for their love of liberty. It extended its territory over several neighbouring towns, and in the Theban war fought against Orchomenus. It joined the other Arcadian cities in the foundation of Megalopolis. As a member of the Achaean league it was besieged by the Aetolians in 22o B.C., and was on several occasions the seat of the federal assemblies. It coined money up to the time of Septimius Severus. The ruins, which
bear
  the common name of Paleopoli, or Old City, are still to be seen about 3 M. from a
village
  that preserves the ancient designation. The greater
part
  of the walls which enclose an area of about a mile and several of the semi-circular towers with which they were strengthened can be clearly made out; and there are also remains of three Doric temples. and a small theatre.
