Th e ancient city of Parion is located in Kemer village, within the bordersof Biga district of modern-day Çanakkale province. Th e city, which wasestablished as a Greek colony at the end of the 8th century BC, had colonialcity status in the Roman Period. Parion did not lose its importance in theByzantine Period when it became one of the important episcopal centersof the region. As a result of the excavations carried out in the ancient cityof Parion between 2006 - 2018, 53 Anonymous Folles were recovered.Within the scope of excavation, these coins were compared with thepublished samples of Anonymous Folles found in the Anatolian collections,museums and archaeological excavations by giving the variances accordingto the types and findings areas of Anonymous Folles; the variance of thetype of these coins was seen to be in line with the findings of the Anatolianarchaeological excavations. All of the Anonymous Folles found in thearchaeological excavations in Parion were discovered in the additions of thestructures of the Roman Era, which show that the usage of these structurescontinued even if they underwent functional changes by additions andrestorations in the 10th and 11th centuries AD. Th ese provide some of themost important data supporting both the fact that the settlement continuedthere and that the city did not lose its position as an important port in theera when the findings of the Anonymous Folles were minted in Parion.Th is excavation has an important place as it included samples of double minted Anonymous Folles seen rarely in Anatolia; also there are almostno published samples of the Anonymous Folles in the cities found aroundParion despite the fact that there are many publications on the AnonymousFolles findings of common areas of Anatolia.
