Perinthus, also known as Heraclea, was an ancient Roman city in what is now Marmara Ereğlisi. Thought to have been founded around 600 BC by colonists from Samos, it was a flourishing town of ancient Thrace, set on a small peninsula on the Propontis and built like an amphitheatre on the slope of a hill. It served as the capital of the Roman province of Thrace, but declined after being renamed Heraclea in the Byzantine period.
