During the 5th century B.C Macedonians gained great power thus firstly appeared onto the stage of global history. It was the same time that the Olympian games of Zeus were firstly organized at Dion, the religious center of all Macedonians.
The games offered amazing athletic, cultural and theatrical contests, overseen by the King himself such as Alexander the Great, his successors and also Roman emperors. In the course of time this amazing sacred city suffered from major earthquakes and gradually became extinct.
