A backward region in northwestern ancient Greece. Today's prefecture is Aetolia-Acarnania. It formed a tribal league in the 5th century BC, but was conquered by Sparta in 390 BC and joined the Second Attic Maritime League in 375 BC. It then became subordinate to Macedonia, and the tribal league was reorganized into a league of cities. After a dispute with Epirus in which its territory was divided, it regained its independence around 230 BC and allied with Macedonia against Rome (200 BC). It was allowed to continue as a league after its surrender to Rome, but Emperor Augustus incorporated part of it into the new city of Nicopolis-Actia and included the rest in the province of Achaia.

古代ギリシア西北部の後進地方。現アイトリア・アカルナニア県。前5世紀に部族連盟を形成したが,前 390年スパルタに征服され,前 375年第2アッチカ海上同盟に加入した。その後マケドニアに従属し,部族連盟を都市連盟に改編した。エピルスと争って領土を分割されたのち,前 230年頃独立を回復し,マケドニアと同盟してローマに敵対した (前 200) 。ローマに屈服後も連盟の存続を許されたが,アウグスツス帝はその一部を新都市ニコポリス・アクチアに編入,残部を属州アカイアに含めた。
