11. A Brief History of the City and Church of Philippi The city of Philippi was located was located in northern Greece near the city of Macedon (Archeological Study Bible, p.1927), approximately ten miles from the port city of Neapolis. It gained access to travelers, as well as trade through the Via Egnatia road (the road that linked Italy with Asia), which ran straight through the city. It was one of four districts that made up the province of Macedonia. A few of the other larger cities within the province were the cities of Amphipolis (the districts capital), Macedon, and Thessalonica The city had a rather eventful history. Founded in 359 B.C. by the Orator Callistratus, along with a few colonists the city began as a Greek colony. But then came Philip II from the nearby city of Macedon and seized the city and its abundant gold mines. He then proceeded to fortify the city walls, and drain the nearby marshes. He continued to advance the city in many other ways, and then renamed it after himself. When Philip II’s son came to power, Alexander the Great, he used Philippi as a headquarters for his conquest of the world
