Claudius, 25 January 41 - 13 October 54 A.D., Philippi, Macedonia
|Philippi|, |Claudius,| |25| |January| |41| |-| |13| |October| |54| |A.D.,| |Philippi,| |Macedonia|, Philippi was founded by Philip II of Macedonia to control nearby gold mines and the route between Amphipolis and Neapolis. Philip constructed fortifications, sent colonists, and established a mint in the city. In Oct 42 B.C., Mark Antony and Octavian defeated Caesar's assassins, Brutus and Cassius, at the Battle of Philippi west of the city. They released some of their veterans to colonize the city, which was refounded as Colonia Victrix Philippensium. In 30 B.C., Octavian sent more Italian settlers, veterans possibly from the Praetorian Guard. The city was renamed Colonia Iulia Philippensis, and then Colonia Augusta Iulia Philippensis after January, 27 B.C., when Octavian received the title Augustus from the Roman Senate.
