Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Westminster Version of the Sacred Scriptures, Vol. 3: The New Testament The city of Thessalonica (the modern Salonika) was probably founded by Cassander in 315 B.C., near the site of the older Therma or Therme, the inhabitants of which, like those of many other towns on the Thermaic Gulf, were compelled to migrate to the new foundation in order to provide it with the necessary population. Cassander named it after his wife, the step-sister of Alexander the Great. The advantages of its situation for commerce and naval warfare secured it a rapid and increasing prosperity. The Macedonian kings made it their chief naval station, and when the conquering Romans divided Macedonia into four districts in 168 B.C., Thessalonica became the capital of the second. In 146 B.C. when the districts were reunited into a single province, it became virtually the capital of the whole and the residence of the proconsul. Under Roman rule its situation on the Via Egnatia, connecting Rome with her Eastern dominions, added enormously to its importance; already in Cicero´s time that Eastern empire had so developed that he could speak of the city as being "in the lap of our empire."
