However, the concept of cities and their significance can be explored through various Hebrew terms related to settlements and locations in the Old Testament. Usage: The term Φίλιπποι is used in the New Testament to refer to the city of Philippi, a prominent location in the missionary journeys of the Apostle Paul. Context: Philippi was an ancient city located in eastern Macedonia, near the Aegean Sea. It was originally established as a small settlement known as Krenides, but it gained prominence when Philip II of Macedon fortified it and renamed it after himself. The city became a Roman colony in 42 BC following the Battle of Philippi, where Mark Antony and Octavian defeated the forces of Brutus and Cassius.
