Phola (Aetolia)

Phola (Ancient Greek: Φόλα) was a town and polis (city-state)^[1] of ancient Aetolia. It is known only through epigraphic testimony among which we can highlight two funerary inscriptions of the classical period and other inscriptions of the Hellenistic period reference a strategos^[2] and a scribe (grammateos)^[3] from Phola. From this evidence it is deduced that Phola had the status of a polis.^[1]

Its exact location is unknown.^[1]
