Amphipolis, Macedonia, c. 148 - 31 B.C.
|Amphipolis|, |Amphipolis,| |Macedonia,| |c.| |148| |-| |31| |B.C.|, Excavations of Roman Amphipolis have revealed traces of all the impressive architecture one would expect from a thriving Roman city. A bridge, gymnasium, public and private monuments, sanctuaries, and cemeteries all attest to the city's prosperity. From the early Christian period (after 500 CE) there are traces of four basilicas, a large rectangular building which may have been a bishop's residence, and a church. --
