Nicopolis

Meaning 'city of victory,' it is not surprising that Nicopolis should appear as the name of several cities. Nicopolis appears only once in the NT at Titus 3:12, a city Paul chose to winter in ("As soon as I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, because I have decided to winter there"). The city that seemed best suited for a rendevous with Titus, who was in Crete at that time, would have been the city established by ">Octavian on the site of his camp before the Battle of Actium of 31 BC in which he defeated the naval forces of ">Mark Antony and ">Cleopatra. Located on the west coast of the Greece it eventually became the capital of the Epirus region.
