View looking northwest at the "Bema" that is located on the north side of the forum. The Bema is the structure composed of two rows of stones and is located in the upper half of the image.
When Paul visited Philippi on his second missionary journey he was "dragged" before the magistrates of the city in/near the market place (= the forum). It is probable that his confrontations (both before and after his imprisonment) with the magistrates took place here (Acts 16:19–22 and 35–40).
