ABSTRACT: In this paper we present the artillery remains of a military conflict (i.e., mainly arrowheads) assumed to be related to the resistance of the Hellenistic city of Kastritsa in inland Epirus (NW Greece) during the last year of the Third Macedonian War (168 B.C). New archaeological evidence allowed us to link the Hellenistic city of Kastritsa to the ancient city of Tekmon mentioned by Livy.
