ΑΥΛΩΝ (Αρχαίο λιμάνι) ΑΛΒΑΝΙΑ
The site is on a low ridge on the coast at the N end of the Gulf of
Valona. Inland is a large lagoon which is joined to the sea on the N of the site
by a channel (aulon); after this channel Bylliace vzas renamed Aulon, the predecessor
of the modern Valona. The site is separated now from the hinterland by a waste
of sandy dunes, but in Roman times it was the terminal port of the Via Egnatia
which ran from the Adriatic coast to Constantinople. Remains of walls survive
on the ridge, along the shore and in the sea where there was once a built quay.
