APOLLONIA (Act_17:1).Paul and Silas passed through this town on the way from Amphipolis to Thessalonica. It is known that it was on the important Egnatian road which ran between Dyrrhachium (mod. Durazzo) and Thessalonica, but its exact site has not yet been discovered. It was about half-way between Amphipolis and Thessalonica, and lay between the rivers Axius and Strymon.

ap-o-lō?ni-a (Ἀπολλωνία, Apollōnı́a): A town in Mygdonia, a district in Macedonia. It was situated a little to the south of Lake Bolbe, on the Via Egnatia, the great Roman road leading from the coast of the Adriatic to the river Hebrus (Maritza), one of the main military and commercial highways of the empire: it lay between Amphipolis and Thessalonica, a day's journey (Livy xlv.28) or about 30 Roman miles from the former and 38 from the latter. The foundation of the town may perhaps be attributed to about 432 bc; in any case, coins are extant which attest its existence in the 4th century bc (Head, Historia Numorum, 181). Paul and Silas passed through the town on their journey from Philippi to Thessalonica, but do not appear to have stayed there (Act_17:1). The name seems to have survived in the modern Pollina (Leake, Northern Greece, III, 458; Cousin?ry, Voyage dans la Mac?doine, I, 115).

Apollonia
(Α᾿πολλωνία, from Apollo), a city of Macedonia, in the province of Mygdonia (Plin. 4:17), situated between Amphipolis and Thessalonica, thirty Roman miles from the former, and thirty-six from the latter (Itiner. Anton. p. 320, 330; Itin. Hieros. p. 605; Tab. Peuting.). It was south of the lake Bolbe and north of the Chalcidian mountains (Athen. 8, 334). According to Stephen of Byzantium, it was founded by a colony of Corinthians and Corcyrians. The Apostle Paul passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia on his way to Thessalonica (Act_17:1; see Conybeare and Howson's Life and Epistles of St. Paul, 1, 320, 321). It must not be confounded with a noted Apollonia in Illyria (see Kype, Obs. Sacr. 2, 81 sq.). The city here spoken of was situated on the Egnatian Way in the interior of the district of Chalcidice (Scylax, p. 27; Xen. Hist. Gr. 5,2). The ruins are called Pollina (Cramer's Anc. Gr. 1, 264).
Apollonia
(Α᾿πολλωνία, a frequent Greek name of cities, probably given in this case by one of the Seleucidae), a town of Palestine, between Caesarea and Joppa (Stephen of Byz.; Ptol. 5,16; Pliny, 5,14; Peut. Tab.), one of those on the sea-shore taken by the Jews under Alexander Jannaeus (Joseph. Ant. 13, 15, 4), and afterward repaired by Gabinius (Joseph. War, 1, 8, 4). It is now Arsuf, a deserted village at the mouth of the Nahr Arsuf (Irby and Mangles, Trav. p. 189; Robinson, Research. 3, 46; Chesney, Expedition, 1, 490), a place famous under the Crusaders (Wilken, Kreuzz. 2, 17, 39, 102; 4:416; 7:325, 400, 425), by whom it was confounded with Antipatris (Ritter, Erdk. 16, 590).
Apollonia
a martyr of Alexandria, suffered with Metra, Quinta, and Serapion, in the year 249, when she was seized, and some one by a violent blow on the face knocked out many of her teeth; whence, in the Middle Ages, she was held to be the patroness against the toothache. Soon she was brought before the burning pile, and, on being asked to recant, reflected a moment, and then leaped into the fire. She is commemorated in the Roman Church on Feb. 9. Eusebius, Ch. Hist. 6, 41; Landon, Eccl. Dict. 1, 450.
