Amphipolis

This is the "Amphipolis Lion."

How is Amphipolis significant for understanding the world of Paul?

Not very significant, but Amphipolis, a town along the Ignatian Way between Philippi and Thessaoliniki, would be a convenient place for Paul to rest up.

After Paul and Silas had passed through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.  (Acts, chapter 17:1)
