Historical background
MACEDONIA - MACEDONIAN PROVINCE - THESSALONIKI
(168-49 BC)
After the capture of Perseus at Pydna in 168 BC by Paul-Émile, Greece was separated into four republics. Thessaloniki received its name in honor of Cassandra's wife in 315 BC. The city was the capital of the second republic. After Andriscus' revolt, Macedonia was heavily taxed and treated as a conquered province. Under the Empire, it became a senatorial province.
