39°12′04″N 22°31′53″E / 39.201186°N 22.531459°E / 39.201186; 22.531459 Peuma (Ancient Greek: Πεῦμα) or Peumata (Πεῦματα) was a polis (city-state) of Phthiotis in ancient Thessaly. It appears documented in an inscription at Delphi that records a border conflict among Peuma, Melitaea.[1] Peuma is also cited as having a border dispute with Phyliadon also settled by neutral arbitration.[2]

Peuma minted bronze coins that have been preserved which have been dated c. 302-286 BCE with the inscription «ΠΕΥΜΑΤΙΩΝ». Its site is identified with remains located at the hilltop east of the village Kallithea [el] in the Municipality of Pharsala.[1][3][4]
