(nih cahp' oh lihss) Place name meaning, “city of victory,” shared by many cities in the ancient world. The site in which Paul most likely wintered (Titus 3:12 ) was Nicopolis in Epirus in northwest Greece on the north side of the Sinus Ambracicus. Octavius founded the city on the campsite from which he mounted his successful battle of Actium.
