Codrion

ΚΟΔΡΙΟΝ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΑΛΒΑΝΙΑ
  Codrion, a fortified town in Illyria, which surrendered to the Romans upon the capture of Antipatria, B.C. 200. It was probably near the latter city, upon the river Apsus. (Liv. xxxi. 27.) It was probably the same town, which is called Chrysondyon by Polybius (v. 108). (Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iii. p. 326, seq.)

Rrmait (Kodrion)

  To the N of Mt. Tomor. 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 c. B.C. Names are preserved on tile stamps and amphora seals; weapons, tools, and fibulas were found. Kodrion figured in the wars between Macedon and Rome (Livy 31.27.4).
