Field researchers trade modern urban conveniences for open ground and marsh borders, walking daily across exposed stone foundations to survey the ancient civic layout.

The ancient urban centre stands as a monumental ruin where royal courts, artistic commissions, and strategic trade networks once converged.

Archelaus established the settlement as a royal capital, commissioning the painter Zeuxis to decorate the palace while hosting Euripides to stage classic drama. The urban core expanded across a hillside enclosed by deep wetlands, relying on the fortified Phacus island citadel connected by a bridge. Philip and Alexander the Great were born here, turning the walled settlement into a primary seat of regional power.

Roman legions eventually sacked the capital and seized the royal treasury, but civic trade persisted along the Via Egnatia transit route between Dyrrachium and Thessalonica. A severe earthquake flattened the central district, burying commercial workshops alongside their unsold wares. Rebuilding transformed the site into a colonial garrison outpost, leaving layered masonry terraces that define modern archaeological digs.
