## History

### Greek and Roman Antiquity

At the southeastern end of Neo Souli, on the "Agrianista" hill, has been found an ancient settlement, with continuous habitation from prehistoric to modern years.

In Roman times the settlement belonged to the territory ("chora") of the city of Sirra (modern Serres), from which it was administratively dependent. South of Neo Souli the ancient necropolis was extended, where various archaeological findings (vases, reliefs, coins etc.) were found, as well as Greek inscriptions of the Roman imperial period.
