The Battle of Actium (31 BC), which marked the transition to the new era of the Roman Empire and had a decisive influence on the course of European civilisation, found its monumental expression in the Victory Monument founded by Augustus at Nicopolis. The three-volume English-language publication The Victory Monument of Augustus at Nicopolis. The Tropaeum of the Sea Battle of Actium is the result of many years of excavation and interdisciplinary research by a team of Greek and international scholars, carried out with the exclusive sponsorship of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. This is a publishing and archaeological event of international significance, whose importance will be highlighted through presentations by distinguished scholars.
