Amphipolis was originally a Thracian town called Ennea Hodoi, which means "Nine Roads". It was colonized by Athens in 437–436 BCE. It was later occupied by Philip II of Macedonia in 357 and remained under Macedonian control until 168.
Amphipolis was the site of a decisive battle between the Spartans and Athenians in 422 BCE. This battle resulted in the deaths of Brasidas and Cleon, and led to the Peace of Nicias in 421.
