Coins from the city of Amphipolis

Amphipolis was an important ancient Greek polis, and later a Roman city, whose large remains can still be seen in modern-day Serres, Macedonia, Greece. Amphipolis was originally a colony of ancient Athenians, founded near the Pangaion gold mines on a pre-existing prehistoric settlement in 438 BC. After the final victory of Rome over Macedonia in the Battle of Pydna in 168 BC, Amphipolis became the capital of Macedonia Prima, one of the four Roman merides (republics) that replaced the Antigonid Kingdom. These merides were gradually incorporated into the Roman client state of Thracia and eventually became imperial provinces. The first Roman bronze coins were minted in Amphipolis by Augustus around the time of the Battle of Actium (31 BC). Bronze coinage continued until the reign of Emperor Gallienus (AD 253–268).
