Amphipolis is a municipality in the Serres regional unit of Greece. In classical antiquity, it was a polis that was part of the region of Makedonia.
During the Peloponnesian War, the city played a strategic and economic role due to the nearby silver mines. Originally settled by the Athenians, the city was subsequently captured by Brasidas of Sparta in 424 BCE.[1]
