Nicopolis, Archaeological site in Epirus, Greece
The ruins of Nicopolis spread across a vast area, featuring remnants of Roman architecture including a theater, temples, and an extensive fortification system.
Octavian established Nicopolis in 31 BC to commemorate his triumph at the Battle of Actium, making it the capital of the Roman province Epirus Vetus.
The site contains seven early Christian basilicas with preserved mosaic floors, demonstrating the evolution from Roman religious practices to Christianity in the region.
Located 8 kilometers from Preveza, the archaeological site remains open daily from 8:00 to 20:00 during summer months with an entrance fee of 8 euros.
The Roman water supply system extended 50 kilometers from Louros springs to Nicopolis, feeding into two large tanks at the Nymphaion complex.
