At the time of Paul's visit it was a Roman colony, founded in 42 BC on a site which had been inhabited since 360 BC andwould remain so until the 7th century AD. The forum at Philippi played acrucial role. It was not only a public meeting point, but also very mucha place where the colony's political community could gather, parade andhold forth. The major religious ceremonies and political and judicialproceedings took place amidst the statues in honour of eminent figureserected on inscribed plinths. A site for archaeological digs since 1914, the forum is in ruins to such an extent that it is difficult tounderstand how it was organized. This guide presents the results of astudy ongoing since 1977, and should throw light on the heart of theRoman city of Philippi.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/2/86/958/241/2869582412_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "24.00", "online_price" : "24.00", "our_price" : "24.00", "club_price" : "24.00", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
