Philippi
Philippi is an ancient Macedonian city founded as Crenides and renamed by Philip II; it later became a Roman colony and an early Christian centre. The archaeological site preserves a compact Roman urban layout with a theatre, a two-terraced forum, several large basilicas and episcopal buildings, fortifications and an associated necropolis.

As it stood in AD 150
The shape it held in its prime.
A hillside theatre cut into pale local limestone with concentric stone seating rising in terraces; a rectilinear Roman forum laid out on two terraces along the main east–west route; scattered blocks, coursed masonry walls and low foundations of basilicas with sections of mosaic pavement; remains of city walls and gates on the acropolis ridge; earth-covered ruins, scrub vegetation and olive trees in the surrounding plain beneath a rocky backdrop of Mount Lekani.
