Paionia
Paionia or Paeonia (in Greek Παιονία) was in ancient geography, the land of the Paionians (Ancient Greek Παίονες, Paiones), the exact boundaries of which, like the early history of its inhabitants, are very obscure. In the time of king Philip II of Macedon, Paionia covered most of what is now the Republic of Macedonia, and was located immediately north of ancient Macedon (roughly corresponding to the modern Greek region of Macedonia) and south of Dardania (roughly corresponding to modern-day Kosovo).
