| dc.description | Sanctuary (Greek and Roman period, begun 8th century BCE), the New Altar (built under Emperor Augustus - 31 BCE - 14 CE); The prehistoric mound and later acropolis, now largely dug away, had about 15 m of deposit and a diameter of about 200 m; the lower town, mostly Hellenistic and Roman, covered an area about 1200 x 800 m. The sequence of nine 'cities' distinguished by Schliemann and Dörpfeld must be understood as a sequence of 9 broad bands within a history of 50 or more building phases. Attention was focused on the site by Schliemann's contention that it was the Homeric city of Troy. He sought the remains of Priam's city in the second city of Troy (some 1000 years too early), with its megara and impressive fortifications, and discovered in 1873 a rich hoard of tools, weapons, vessels and jewellery, which he called 'Priam's Treasure'. Trojan chronology is a matter of some dispute among archaeologists; the dates used here are those established by Blegen.
