It was located in the southern part of Phocis, bordering on the territory of Parapotamii.[1] It was destroyed by order of the Amphictyons, but was rebuilt and fortified by the Thebans with a double wall, in their war against Philip II of Macedon, who had during the Third Sacred War taken Ambrysus among other cities in Phocis (346 BCE).[2] In {{circa|228-224 BCE}}, it was attacked by the Aetolians, like the city of Daulis. [4] Its fortifications were considered by Pausanias the strongest in Greece, next to those of Messene.[5] It was taken by the Romans in the Second Macedonian War, 198 BCE.[6] During the visit of Pausanias, in the second century, the town had a agora of small size and statues of stone, most of which were broken.[7]The site of Ambrysus is located near the modern village of Distomo (Distomon).[8][9] References1. ^1 {{Cite Strabo|9.3.13, 9.3.16}} 2. ^1 {{Cite Pausanias|10|3|2}} 3. ^{{Cite Stephanus|s.v.}} 4. ^{{Cite Polybius|4.25.2}} 5. ^{{Cite Pausanias|10|3|2}}, 10.36.1, et seq., 4.31.5 6. ^{{Cite Livy|32.18}} 7. ^{{Cite Pausanias|10|36|1}} et seq. 8. ^{{Cite DARE|25173}} 9. ^{{Cite Barrington|55}}
