| Nicopolis (City of Victory) was founded by Emperor Augustus after his victory at the Battle of Actium. |
 |
| Nicopolis is located next to the modern city of Preveza, which lies on the mouth of the Ambracian Gulf. Preveza replaced Nicopolis in importance in the Middle Ages. |
 |
| This hoard of coins found in the sea near Nicopolis would have been used to pay Roman soldiers. |

| The ruins at Nicopolis are extensive, but still being unearthed. |
 |
| This archeological team is actively unearthing Nicopolis' odeum. |
 |
| On the way to the ferry we drove past Ioannina Island, next to the capital of Epirus, Ioannina, where the infamous Ali Pasha died in 1822. We would have liked to see more in Epirus, but you can only go so many places on one trip. |
 |
| We took the overnight ferry from Igoumenitsa, Greece to Brindisi, Italy. It wasn't a pleasure cruise, but it got us back to Italy. |
