Dardanos

Dardanus or Dardanum (Greek: Δάρδανος, Dardanos, the feminine form; Greek: Δάρδανον, Dardanon, the neuter) was an ancient city in the Troad. It was sometimes called Dardania (Greek: Δαρδανία, Dardania, neuter plural of adjective Dardanios), a term used also for the district around it. Pliny the Elder called it Dardanium (Latin neuter singular). It appears in other sources indirectly as well. The appellation of a person from Dardanus is Dardaneus (Greek: Δαρδανεύς). Its coin legends are DAR and DARDAN. Its localization is securely marked by an inscription naming itself on the site.
