Macedonia and Thrace

Macedonia and Thrace has served as a cultural crossroads in the Greek lands since antiquity. Around the lower Strymon River, fertile plains meet the foothills and routes that have long linked the Aegean coast with the Balkan interior. Ancient Amphipolis, founded by Athenians in 437 BC, grew beside a strategic crossing of the Strymon and later became an important Macedonian and Roman centre. Farther east, the archaeological site of Philippi recalls the Roman Via Egnatia and the region’s place in Mediterranean travel and trade.
