Resumo

Descrición

The mountain in the distance is Pangaion where gold and silver was mined from the city of Philippi and processed by the mint in the city. The Bible records that only the church of Philippi consistently supported Paul by sending him money, presumable gold from this mountain. The gold from this mountain also financed King Philip and Alexander the Great in their conquests.

The ancient Theatre of Philippi is a remarkable and important monument. It is located at the foot of the acropolis and it is supported on the eastern wall of the city of Philippi. Even though it has undergone many changes over the centuries and some interventions it still preserves many of its original elements.

The first phase of the theatre dates back in the reign of Philip II in 356 BC. At that time the orchestra was u-shaped.

During Roman colonization changes were made to the theater in order to become suitable for the requirements of the new shows. The orchestra was floored with marble slabs and a high wall was built to protect the spectators during beast fights. Eventually in the 3rd Century A.D. the Theatre becomes an arena for beast fights.

During the Christian times the habits and morals of the people changed so the theater was abandoned.

Nowadays, many parts of the theatre are saved untouched still many restoration works are done so the annual Philippi Festival can take place.
