Alexandropolis, in the lands of the unrelenting Maedi founded by the young Alexander
the Great in 339 BC. Receiving the name of Parthicopolis during the reign of
Trajan (AD 98-117), the city continued to thrive during the
Roman and Late Antique periods, when it became a leading center for the
establishment of early Christianity in the province of Macedonia. The current

remains located near the atrium of the Bishop’s Basilica dated to 4th-6th
c. AD. The Program offers one excavation session,
