The emblematic theatre in Philippi The Ancient Theater of Philippi was built by Philip II in 356 BC, immediately after the conquest of the city by the Macedonian king. After the conquest of the city by the Romans, during the 1st and 2nd c. AD, the theater underwent many changes to accommodate a larger number of spectators and to adapt to the particular Roman spectacles. The most important operations took place in the 2nd century AD with several additions of auxiliary spaces as well as the construction of the scene, which was designed with two floors to the orchestra and three floors on the exterior of the theater. At this point it was decorated with marble reliefs depicting the female followers of Bacchus, the maenads, satyr masks and other symbols of god Dionysus. In the 3rd century AD the theater was converted into a typical Roman arena with all the necessary modifications for the needs of the new spectacles and for the safety of the spectators. The figures related to the duels, Mars, Victory and Nemesis, were carved then. Unfortunately, in the following centuries, the predominance of the new religion, which was opposed to violent spectacles and theatrical performances in general, would bring the desolation of the theater, at least as a gathering place for spectacles. The great earthquake of the 7th century AD and the fire that destroyed the stage rendered whatever material could be used for second building use. The parts of the theater that remained in good condition housed other commercial activities. After rescue excavations and restoration work, the ancient theater hosts performances of the Philippi Festival every summer. Ministry of Culture DIAZOMA  EMT Greece
