Gallienus, August 253 - September 268 A.D., Amphipolis, Macedonia
|Amphipolis|, |Gallienus,| |August| |253| |-| |September| |268| |A.D.,| |Amphipolis,| |Macedonia|, Amphipolis was on the Via Egnatia, the principal Roman road across southern Balkans. In 50, the apostle Paul visited Amphipolis on his way to Thessaloniki. Many Christian churches were built indicating prosperity, but the region grew increasingly dangerous. In the 6th century, the population had declined considerably and the old perimeter was no longer defensible against Slavic invasions. The lower city was plundered for materials to fortify the Acropolis. In the 7th century, a new wall was built, right through the bath and basilica, dividing the Acropolis. The remaining artisans moved to houses and workshops built in the unused cisterns of the upper city. In the 8th century, the last inhabitants probably abandoned the city and moved to nearby Chrysopolis (formerly Eion, once the port of Amphipolis).
