From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Nicopolis
     city of victory, where Paul intended to winter (Titus 3:12).
     There were several cities of this name. The one here referred to
     was most probably that in Epirus, which was built by Augustus
     Caesar to commemorate his victory at the battle of Actium (B.C.
     31). It is the modern Paleoprevesa, i.e., "Old Prevesa." The


     subscription to the epistle to Titus calls it "Nicopolis of
     Macedonia", i.e., of Thrace. This is, however, probably
     incorrect.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
