	ANTIQUANOVA MINT - G44 Amphipolis (Macedon), Tetradrachm (silver coin replica)
		Amphipolis (modern Greek: Amfipoli; see also List of traditional Greek place names), was an ancient city of Macedonia, on the east bank of the river Strymon, where it emerges from Lake Cercinitis, about 3 m.
		In 422 BC Cleon led an unsuccessful expedition to recover it, in which both he and Brasidas were slain (see Battle of Amphipolis).
		The importance of Amphipolis in ancient times was due to the fact that it commanded the bridge over the Strymon, and consequently the route from northern Greece to the Hellespont; it was important also as a depot for the gold and silver mines of the district, and for timber, which was largely used in shipbuilding.
