The Ancient Theatre of Dodoni is one of the largest and most well preserved ancient Greek theatres that dates back to the 3rd century B.C., when it was constructed by King Pyrros of Epirus. The theatre still hosts some performances during the summer months. Nicopolis, once the capital city of the Roman province of Epirus Vetus, was founded in 29 BC by Caesar Augustus in commemoration of his victory over Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium. Nicopolis has many impressive ruins of the ancient city that still remain and may be visited today.
