Nicopolis (nî-cŏp'o-lĭs), city of victory. There were many ancient cities which bore this name: three in particular have been supposed by different critics the one meant. Titus 3:12. One of these was in the northeastern corner of Cilicia; another on the Nessus in the interior of Thrace; the third in Epirus (though Pliny assigns it to Acarnania). This last, most probably the Nicopolis intended by Paul, was built by Augustus in commemoration of his victory at Actium.
