Archaeological Museum of Amphipolis

Part of the Archaeological Park of Amphipolis, the Archaeological Museum guards and presents to visitors findings of the area from prehistoric to late Byzantine times.

The life, culture and history of human activity on today's Serraic coast is highlighted through tools, coins, weapons and works of art, in the chronological narrative of the exhibitions (Prehistoric times, Early Historical times, Classical and Hellenistic times, Roman times, Early Christian times, Byzantine times), with particular emphasis on the Classical and Hellenistic period where Amphipolis was founded and flourished.

Special exhibits are the golden wreath with olive leaves and the silver urn in the lobby of the exhibition, discovered in 1976, during the construction of the museum. They were located in an unlooted tomb, which according to archaeological estimates dates back to the late 5th/early 4th century BC and belonged to the Spartan General Vrasidas.
