Neandreia was an Aeolian city on the granite heights of Çığrı Dağ in the southwest Troad, where a temple, agora, stoa and walls were built in the 6th century BC. Apollo was its principal god and appeared on its coins. In the 5th century the city belonged to the Delian League, paying tribute in the Hellespontine district. Around 310 BC Antigonos I merged it with other Troad cities into Antigoneia, later Alexandria Troas, which adopted Neandreia's grazing horse as its emblem.
