Manius Aquillius, governor of the province of Asia from 129 to 126 BC, rebuilt the road that connected Adramyttium and Smyrna.[24] In the 1st century BC, a famous school of oratory was located in Adramyttium.[18] Adramyttium was the centre of a conventus iuridicus,[25] and its jurisdiction included the Troad and the western half of Mysia.[26] Adramyttium was also the centre of a conventus civium Romanorum in the second or early first century BC.[27]

Following the
The Treaty of Nymphaeum of 1261 granted the Republic of Genoa trading privileges, such as marketplaces, at Adramyttium, among other Aegean cities.[48] In 1268, the Venetians were granted a concession in Adramyttium.[36] In early 1284, a synod was held at Adramyttium by Emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos, accompanied by his aunt Theodora and his cousins Anna Palaiologina Kantakouzene and Theodora Raoulaina, with the intention of reconciling with the "Arsenites", supporters of Arsenios Autoreianos, the deposed Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople. Arsenites who were poorly treated by Andronikos' father Michael VIII Palaiologos, who had deposed Arsenios, were declared martyrs; in exchange, the Arsenites temporarily recognized the appointment of Gregory II as Patriarch of Constantinople, as legitimate.[49] During the synod, the two factions agreed to settle their dispute by setting fire to separate documents containing their arguments; the undamaged document was said to contain the truth, but both documents were destroyed in the fire.[50]

Ecclesiastical history
In 325 AD, the diocese of Adramyttium was made a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Ephesus.[22] Helladius, Bishop of Adramyttium, attended the Council of Ephesus in 431, and Aurelius attended the Synod of Constantinople in 448.[53] Flavianus was present at the Second Council of Ephesus in 449 and the Council of Chalcedon in 451.[53] Julian is addressed in a work by Hypatius, Archbishop of Ephesus, in c. 531–540 or c. 550.[53] Theodore attended the Third Council of Constantinople in 680, and Basilius was present at the Second Council of Nicaea in 787.[53] Michael attended the Council of Constantinople of 869.[53]
Sergius was Bishop of Adramyttium at the beginning of the 11th century, and Bishop George was active later during the 11th century.
During the second period of Latin occupation, between 1211 and 1224, a Latin bishop of Adramyttium was appointed and the diocese of Adramyttium was made a suffragan of the Latin archdiocese of
Location
Debate exists as to when Adramyttium moved to its current site at the modern city of Edremit. According to Wilhelm Tomaschek, Adramyttium moved to the site of modern Edremit under Trajan, however, it has been argued that there was no cause for this during Trajan's rule as piracy, the sole cause for such a move, was negligible.[56] Kiepert argued that this move took place in 1109, however, scholars note that it is not stated in contemporary sources that the city was rebuilt inland.[56] It has also been argued that the relocation of Adramyttium took place after its destruction by Genoese pirates in 1197.[22]
