Achaiion orAchaeïum orAchaeum (Ancient Greek:Ἀχαίιον) was a town in theTenedian Peraia of theancient Troad.[1][2] The legendAX (ACH) which some bronze coins found in this region bear is thought to refer to Ach(aiion) byLouis Robert,[3] but others attribute the coins toAchilleion.[4]
Its site is located nearHantepe,Asiatic Turkey.[5][6]
{{cite book}}: CS1 maint: location missing publisher (link) objects that whereas Achilleion is twice attested as apolis and therefore capable of minting coins (Herodotus 5.94.2,Stephanus of Byzantium s.v. Σίγειον) Achaiion never had political autonomy and always belonged to theTenedian Peraia.
