Passaron

Passaron (Greek: Πασσαρών) was an ancient Greek city of Epirus.[1] It was founded by the Molossian king Tharrhypas sometime between 420 and 400 BC as the capital of the Molossian kingdom.[2][3] Later, in 330 BC, it became the capital of the newfound united kingdom of Epirus until 295 BC, when Pyrrhus of Epirus moved the capital to Amvrakia.
