"We are optimistic about our candidacy because the consulting body's evaluation report is positive," the national coordinator for UNESCO's world heritage monuments for Greece Evgenia Geroussi said to the Athens-Macedonian News Agency (AMNA). The archaeological site of Filippi is a very important area in Northeastern Greece on the ancient Egnatia Odos. King Filippos II saw the strategic position of the location, built the city and named it. The battle at Filippi also affected the future of the Roman Empire because Augustus became an emperor and the city built was a copy of the Roman cities. "The city does not have any superstructures and after its abandonment it remained untouched, which means authentic", noted Geroussi.
