Summary

Description
English: Ruins of ancient Philippi, looking NW along the southern portico (stoa) of the city's main marketplace (or agora). A roof would have covered the grassy area along the near side of the line of monumental columns. The broad stone-paved area beyond was the open market area. Along the far (northern) side of this market ran the via Egnatia, the main Roman highway through Macedon. In the distance (at right) is visible the acropolis, or high hill, of the city. The Roman inhabitation spread up much of the hill's SW face.
Afrikaans: 'n Noordwestelike uitsig oor die bouvalle van antieke Filippi, wat 'n blik oor die suidelike portiek (stoa) van die stad se hoofmark (of agora) bied. 'n Dak sou die grasarea aan die nakant van die ry monumentale suile bedek het. Die breë klipgeplaveide gebied daarnaas was die oopmarkgebied. Teenaan die noordelike of verkant van hierdie mark het die via Egnatia verbygeloop, die Romeinse hoofweg regdeur Makedonië. In die verte (regs) is die akropolis of hoë heuwel van die stad sigbaar. Romeinse bewoning het 'n groot deel van die heuwel se suidwestelike aansig in beslag geneem.
