Nicopolis,
VIEW:25 DATA:01-04-2020
NICOPOLIS, or the city of victory, was founded by Augustus in b.c. 31, on the spot where he had had his camp before the battle of Actium. It was made a Roman colony, and was peopled by citizens drawn from various places in Acarnania and Ætolia.
In Tit_3:12 Samt. Paul writes, Give diligence to come unto me to Nicopolis; for there I have determined to winter. It may be taken as certain that this means Nicopolis in Epirus, from which doubtless St. Paul hoped to begin the evangelization of that province. No other city of the name was in such a position, or so important as to claim six months of the Apostles time.
The importance of Nicopolis depended partly on the Actian games, partly on some commerce and fisheries. It was destroyed by the Goths, and, though restored by Justinian, it was supplanted in the Middle Ages by Prevesa, which grew up a little farther south. There are extensive ruins on its site.
