Historical context

Antandrus or Antandros was an ancient Greek city located on the north side of the Gulf of Adramyttium in the Troad region of Anatolia. Its surrounding territory was known in Greek as Ἀντανδρία, encompassing coastal settlements such as Aspaneus and Astyra to the east. Operating as an independent city authority, Antandros issued its own civic coinage during the Classical period.
