Parion, located on the Anatolian coast of the Dardanelles within the present villages of Kemer, Biga and Canakkale, has often been considered a Troas city, surrounded by large urban centers such as Priapos, Lampsakos and Skepsis. According to tradition, Parion was founded by immigrants from Erythrai, Miletos and Paros in 709 B. C. Raised to the status of a Colonia under Julius Caesar or Augustus, the city seems to have maintained its importance until Late Antiquity. Its heyday fell into the reign of the emperor Hadrian, who renewed its colonial status. Among Parion's most prominent building activities of this period is the second century A. D. Odeion, the excavation of which was initiated in 2010. During the partial excavation of the building, 249 Late Roman coins, two metal objects, five figurines, and several glass and ceramic fragments have been catalogued. The examination of the ceramic evidence, which comprises Candarli (Pitane) ware, African and Phokaian Red Slip Ware, Light-colored Late Roman ceramics and household wares (cooking pots), points to a Late Roman date (3rd - 7th century AD).
