Plovdiv is the Slavic version of Philippopolis. The city was taken over and re-named by Philip II 2400 years ago. I guess we know where Alexander got his naming habits. Here is the Macedonian king presiding over Dzhumaya Square today. In his hand he holds the key to understanding the city's site: three hills, the link between history and geography. [2010]
