Dardanus Kiepert Map
                                            Kiepert Atlas Antiquus, Dietrich Reimer, Berlin, 1863

   At the time of the geographer Strabo, the city of Dardanus stood one mile south of the headland of Dardanis, the point at which the Hellespont, which today is called "the Dardanelles" after the city, begins to narrow. Abydos lay about 70 stadia (13–14 kilometres) to the north and Rhoeteum about the same distance to the south. The acropolis has been identified with the top of Şehitlik Batarya.
   The town that Strabo knew was a colony of Aeolians and was distinct from the by then vanished Dardanus or Dardania presented in the Iliad as situated at the foot of Mount Ida and reputed to be named after Dardanus, who founded it earlier than the founding of Ilium.
   The historical city was one of those that the Achaemenid Empire reduced in 497 BC in the course of its suppression of the Ionian Revolt. Nearly two centuries later, the taking by surprise of Spartan ships on that coast led to the Athenian victory of the Battle of Abydos in 411 BC. Dardanus was also the place where in 85 BC Sulla and Mithridates VI of Pontus met and agreed on the Treaty of Dardanos.

Αρχαία νομίσματα
    Από την αρχαία Δάρδανο έχουν βρεθεί και σωθεί πολλά αρχαία νομίσματα σχεδόν από την εποχή της κτίσης της. Έτσι, τα αρχαιότερα ανευρεθέντα νομίσματά της ανάγονται στον 7ο αιώνα π.Χ. και είναι κατασκευασμένα από μιλήσιο ήλεκτρο και σύμφωνα με τον φωκαϊκό μετρικό - σταθμητικό κανόνα. Στην εμπρόσθια όψη φέρουν παράσταση με δύο πετεινούς (αλέκτορες) μαχόμενους και στην οπίσθια όψη έγκοιλο (εσώγλυφο) τετράγωνο. Χωρίς ιδιαίτερες διαφορές είναι και εκείνα των επόμενων αιώνων (του 6ου και 5ου π.Χ.) που αντί τους δύο πετεινούς απεικονίζουν έναν, με ανθέμιο υπεράνω αυτού και στην άλλη όψη το έγκοιλο τετράγωνο διαιρεμένο σε τέσσερα μέρη. Τα νομίσματα του 5ου αιώνα φέρουν ενίοτε την επιγραφή ΔΑΡ. Τα του 4ου αιώνα είναι χάλκινα και φέρουν στη μία όψη ιππέα σε ανορθωμένο ίππο και στην άλλη έναν πετεινό και την επιγραφή ΔΑΡΔΑΝ. Στη περίοδο της Ρωμαϊκής Αυτοκρατορίας τα νομίσματα της Δαρδάνου φέρουν την επιγραφή ΔΑΡΔΑΝΙΟΝ και απεικονίζουν άλλοτε τον Γανυμήδη να τον αρπάζει αετός (ο Δίας) και άλλοτε τον Αινεία να κουβαλά τον Αγχίση στον ώμο και να κρατά τον Ασκάνιο απ' το χέρι, ενίοτε με την επιγραφή ΡΟΔΙΟC.
