The Great Theater of Kilifi stands within Nicopolis, the city Octavian founded in Epirus to commemorate his naval victory at Actium. Across its stones, the site layers an unusual span of history: Roman construction, late-antique use, and traces from the sixteenth and twentieth centuries, all preserved within one archaeological landscape near Preveza. The theater remains a monumental reminder of Nicopolis's enduring importance, a place where imperial ambition, civic life, and the passage of centuries meet in a single commanding ruin.
