The woman you have in mind is probably Lydia, a "seller of purple from the city of Thyatira" (Acts 16:14). She and her household were baptized in the town of Philippi on Paul's second missionary journey, while he was accompanied by Silas. (You have to look back to Acts 15:40to see that Silas was among Paul's company at the time.)
Chapter 16 in the Book of Acts narrates Paul's missionary journey to Philippi, where he meets Lydia, a seller of purple fabrics, who becomes one of the first European converts to Christianity. It also includes the well-known story of Paul and Silas being imprisoned in Philippi and subsequently being freed by an earthquake.
During the time of Paul the Apostle, the population of Philippi is estimated to have been around 10,000 to 12,000 people. Philippi was a significant city in ancient Macedonia and a Roman colony, known for its strategic location and thriving economy. The city's population would have included a mix of Romans, Greeks, and other ethnic groups, making it a diverse and cosmopolitan urban center during that time.

Philippi was a city in eastern Macedonia.
I believe the scripture says they were in Philippi, the chief city in Macedonia . Acts 16:12
i found the following while searching the web: "[Apostle] Paul had a vision in which a man of Macedonia plead with Paul to come help him. Paul and his companions thus traveled to the city of Philippi in Macedonia. Paul baptized a woman named Lydia and her household in Philippi. Lydia was a seller of purple cloth, which was expensive. The dye for the cloth came from mollusk, a type of shellfish. Lydia's conversion was the start of the establishment of the Church in Philippi."
The businesswoman in Philippi who offered her home to Paul and Silas was Lydia. She was a seller of purple cloth and is noted in the New Testament for her hospitality and conversion to Christianity. Lydia's home became a meeting place for the early Christian community in Philippi after she and her household were baptized. Her story is found in Acts 16:14-15.
