History[edit]
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.[2]
In Roman times the settlement belonged to the territory ("chora") of the city of Sirra (modern Serres), from which it was administratively dependent.[3] 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.[4]
