Chrysondion

Chrysondyon was an ancient Greek city of the Dassaretae to the north of Mount Tomor in Chaonia at the border of the region of Epirus with Illyria. The earliest coins yielded by excavation are of Philip II of Macedon; the massive circuit wall with a fine gateway dates probably to the late 4th century BC. Names are preserved on tile stamps and amphora seals; weapons, tools, and fibulas were found. Kodrion figured in the wars between Macedon and Rome. It was in the general vicinity of Antipatreia and Gertous. The name could also be found as Codrio or Codrion in Latin.
