The refoundation of Sikyon in 303 BCE by the Macedonian general and future king of Macedon Demetrios Poliorketes at a new location may have been primarily dictated by geopolitical concerns, but it also gave its founder the opportunity to materialize his ambitious urbanistic and architectural plans. The results of the past and current excavations at the site by the Archaeological Society of Athens and of the intensive urban survey conducted in the 2000s revealed clear traces of landscaping and remains of impressive monuments that betray the dynastic aspirations of Demetrios, and his desire to put a Macedonian stamp on the new city.
