Antandrus
Antandrus () was an ancient Greek city on the north side of the Gulf of Adramyttium in the Troad region of Anatolia. Its surrounding territory was known in Greek as (''Antandria''),〔Aristotle, ''Historia Animalium'' 519a16.〕 and included the towns of Aspaneus on the coast and Astyra to the east.〔Strabo 13.1.51.〕 It has been located on Devren hill between the modern village of Avcılar and the town of Altınoluk in the Edremit district of Balıkesir Province, Turkey.〔A map of the region is available at http://www.antandros.org/iletisim/ulasim-haritasi.html. 〕 ==Location== The geographer Strabo located Antandrus in the Troad on the southern flank of Mount Ida, east of Assos and Gargara, but west of Aspaneus, Astyra, and Adramyttium.〔Strabo 13.51.1. Cf. Ptolemy, ''Geographia'' 5.2.5.〕 The first clue which led to its rediscovery in modern times was found by the German geographer and Classical scholar Heinrich Kiepert in 1842. He found an inscription relating to Antandrus in the wall of a mosque at Avcılar. Returning in 1888, he found a further inscription at Avcılar and, due to the discovery by locals of many Greek, Roman, and Byzantine era coins in the vicinity of a nearby hill called Devren, he was also able to locate the acropolis of Antandrus on this spot.〔H.Kiepert, ''Zeitschrift d. Gesellschaft für Erdkunde zu Berlin'' 24 (1889) 298f.〕 The British archaeologist John Cook surveyed the site in 1959 and 1968, discovering further evidence of a Greek settlement.〔Cook (1973) 269-71. Cook provides the best summary of Antandrus' rediscovery in modern times.〕
