History
A Roman settlement located immediately to the southeast of modern Didymoteicho, Greece, Plotinopolis was founded by the Roman emperor Trajan in honor of his wife, Plotina. Roman-era material culture has been identified at the site, beginning with chance finds in the 1960s and continuing through subsequent scientific excavation.
