Phola (Ancient Greek: Φόλα) was a town and polis (city-state)[1] of ancient Aetolia. It is known only through epigraphic testimony among which we can highlight two funerary inscriptions of the classical period and other inscriptions of the Hellenistic period reference a strategos[2] and a scribe (grammateos)[3] from Phola. From this evidence it is deduced that Phola had the status of a polis.[1]
