Abstract

Abstract:The traditional interpretation of the Battle of Philippi (42 B.C.) locates the camps of Brutus and Cassius to the west of the city of Philippi. This article proposes a new location for the camps based on three key arguments: (1) there are no hills in the traditional location corresponding to the hills mentioned in the ancient sources; (2) there are two hills in the southeastern section of the plain, near modern Amygdaleonas, that fit the ancient descriptions much more closely; and (3) an alternate route into the plain, south of Mount Pangaion, renders the traditional location strategically unfeasible.

布鲁图和卡西乌斯在腓立比的营地(公元前42年

摘要:对腓立比战役(公元前42年)的传统解释将布鲁图斯和卡修斯的营地定位在腓立比城以西。本文基于三个关键论点提出了新的营地选址方案:(1)传统的营地选址中没有与古文献中提到的山丘相对应的山丘;(2)平原东南部有两座山，靠近现代的Amygdaleonas，它们更符合古代的描述;(3)另一条通往平原的路线位于Pangaion山以南，这使得传统的地理位置在战略上不可行。
