NICOPOLIS

(Gk. Nikópolis)

A common name (“city of victory”) in antiquity. Paul asks Titus to visit him at Nicopolis as he had decided to spend the winter there (Tit. 3:12). This was probably the city located on the isthmus of the Bay of Actium in northwestern Greece, founded by Augustus after his victory over Antony and Cleopatra in 31 b.c.e. It was a Roman colony and the capital of the province of Epirus. Herod the Great built most of the public buildings, and Epictetus resided there after his expulsion from Rome. The note in Codex Alexandrinus ascribing the writing of Titus to Nicopolis is incorrect.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
