– No obvious reason why the Biblical reference is in the title, since the article is about a major town that existed for centuries either side of the NT. Most sources use the traditional Latinized spelling of Beroea (or similar). "Berea" seems unique to the KJV. While it is true that the Ancient City of Aleppo was once called Beroea, it was itself named after the city in Macedonia, and this can be explained in a hat note instead of a two-page disambiguation page, as at present.

 * Comment. The dab page is not a "two-page" dab page as indicated. It does indeed have four entries, and so it only qualifies as a page-move target if it is requested to rename to Beroea (disambiguation). This request has been modified to reflect this, and can withdraw, continue as it is or change the new title to something like Beroea (Greece) (to show that the town is not the primary topic of "Beroea") at their discretion.

Content
Most of these Macedonian cities have two articles, one for the ancient city and one for the modern. 9 times out of 10 the modern is over the ancient, as until recently there has been no place else to put it. The map shows a beautiful array of rivers in a plain. But, that was not created until the 20th century. Before then the remains of the Thermaic Gulf stood where the plain now is. So, I suggest we follow the inadvertent pattern. The historical material should be moved to this article. The modern material goes in the Veria article. What I think we should not do is repeat the history in both articles.Botteville (talk) 00:21, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
