The ancient city of Amphipolis [ ΑΜΦΙΠΟΛΙΣ ]
Amphipolis [Αμφίπολη] is a municipality in the Serres regional unit, Macedonia, Greece. The seat of the municipality is Rodolivos.It was an important ancient Greek polis [city], and later a Roman city, whose large remains can still be seen. The ancient city Amphipolis [ΑΜΦΙΠΟΛΙΣ] original name was "Nine roads".
Amphipolis derived its name, which means Surrounded City, from the fact that the Strymon River flows almost entirely around the site of the city.
Amphipolis was strategically located on the site of an old Thracian settlement known to the Greeks as Ennea Hodoi [Nine Ways] because nine roads converged there.
The Athenians attempted to colonize Ennea Hodoi in 466 BC, but were fiercely resisted by the local Edonean Thracians. At last, in 437 BC, the Athenians triumphed and took Ennea Hodoi as their own, refounding the Thracian settlement as the Greek city of Amphipolis.
