Foundation & Destruction Nikopolis & Northwestern Greece - The archaeological evidence for the city destructions, the foundation of Nikopolis & the synoecism

Octavian founded Nikopolis in 31 BC to commemorate his naval defeat of Antony and Cleopatra at Actium. He then compelled the inhabitants of neighbouring cities to relocate and populate his `City of Victory'. These papers focus on recent excavations, in Nikopolis and in the surrounding regions, to examine the impact of this forced relocation.
