Cypsela or Kypsela ( Ancient Greek: Κυψέλα or Κύψελα), was an ancient Greek [1] town on the river Hebrus in ancient Thrace, which was once an important place on the Via Egnatia. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Antiochus besieged Cypsela and its citizens surrendered and became allies with Antiochus. [8]
Its site is located near the modern İpsala. [9] [10]
