Name of the city
After the death of Alexander in 323 BC, and the wars of the successors that followed, in 315 to 316 BC. Kassandros founded a new city in the innards of the Thermaic Gulf, giving it the name of his wife and naming it Thessaloniki, which is why he is also called the Nymph of Thermaikos.
