Founded on Thracian soil on the site of a former Thasian settlement by the king of Macedon Philip II, who named it after himself, the Greek city of Philippi was turned into a Roman colony in 42 BC. Settled with soldiers and civilians originating from Italy, the colony nevertheless thrived for many centuries with its substantial Greek-speaking local population. The Apostle Paul then established in Philippi the oldest Christian community in Europe. The Corpus des inscriptions grecques et latines de Philippes (CIPh) gathers all the epigraphic evidence from Philippi and its territory. The present volume brings together the inscriptions referring to emperors, members of the senatorial and equestrian ranks, soldiers of the Roman army and local magistrates. Such extensive historical evidence makes Philippi one of the best known Roman colonies in the East as far as public life and society are concerned.
