Philippi was a major Greek city northwest of the nearby island, Thasos. In the Roman Era the city reappears in the sources during the Liberators' civil war (43–42 BC) that followed the assassination of Julius Cesar in 44 BC. Philippi, was according to all the evidence the most ‘Romanized’ city in Macedonia. This conclusion is also corroborated by numismatic iconography since Roman cults were dominant on its coins. Victoria Augusta was the main obverse type for the ‘pseudo-autonomous’ issues and Fortuna, another Roman military deity, was depicted on third-century issues.
