The city of Philippi, in eastern Macedonia, is known to us largely through Saint Paul. At the time of Paul’s visit it was a Roman colony, founded in 42 BC on a site which had been inhabited since 360 BC and would remain so until the 7th century AD. The forum at Philippi played a crucial role. It was not only a public meeting point, but also very much a place where the colony’s political community could gather, parade and hold forth. The major religious ceremonies and political and judicial proceedings took place amidst the statues in honour of eminent figures erected on inscribed plinths.
