A city in Thrake (Thrace) on the Strymon River approximately 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from the coast of the Gulf of Strimon.
The area around the city has been inhabited since the Neolithic Period and continuously populated since the Bronze Age (3000-1200 BCE).
The city was occupied by the Greeks as early as the seventh century BCE and gained great importance with the discovery of nearby gold mines.
In 442 BCE, soon after the Peloponnesian War began between Athens and Sparta, Amphipolis declared its independence; in 357 BCE, Amphipolis fell under the control of Phillip II of Makedon (Macedon).
Approximate east longitude 23.86 and north latitude 40.80.
