Metropolis ( Ancient Greek: Μητρόπολις) was a town on the Propontis in the ancient Troad. It is known only from epigraphic testimony documenting a tribute decree of Athens of the year 422/1 BCE, where Metropolis, within the district of the Hellespont, had to pay a phoros of a talent. [1] From this evidence it can be deduced that Metropolis was part of Delian League. [2]
Its exact location is unknown but the epigraphic evidence indicates that it should be close to the city of Priapus. [2]
