Modern Description: According to ancient sources Argos Amphilochikon was settled by settlers from Argos. Around 440 the inhabitants were expelled by Ambracians but they managed to reconquer the city two years later with the help of the Athenians and Acarnanians. The ruins of the city are located near Nea Kamarina on the southern coast of the Ambracic gulf. The city's fortification comprises an acropolis (on the hill called Kastri) and two larger enclosures. Gates to the east and west led to Thyrreio and Aktio respectively. Among the city's remains one can still see house ruins, the agora and a harbour at the small gulf of Agios Petros. Outside the fortification part of the cemetery, dating to the 6th cent. B.C. have come to light, with inscribed grave stelai, now in Thyrreio museum.
