Spectacles performed in the theatres of the Roman cities were of importance for the general public as well as for the benefactors of these events. Within the theatres water spectales, gladiatorial and beast combats were performed along with drama acts. For gladiatorial combats amphitheatres are known to have been built within the empire although in geographical locations such as Greece and Asia Minor where Greek influence and theatre culture had flourished before the Roman Empire’s conquest very few amphitheatres were built. Instead theatres were altered in architecture or built to be multi-functional structures of entertainment.
Parion’s theatre is thought to have been built during the Flavian Period in the late 1st century AD and was altered/renovated several times during the second half of the 2nd century and the early 3rd century AD. Having water discharge related components installed in the orchestra, hyposcaeneium and the versura suggests that Parion’s theatre was used as a multi-functional theatre. A further hint of the theatre being a multi-funtional entertainment structure is the gladiatorial combat and venatio (beast combat and displays) related graffiti.
This work intends to introduce the water system of the theatre of Parion and evaluate the system along with some architectural aspects of the theatre. Understanding the purpose of these water systems with regard to theatrical spectacles is another intent of this work.

Parion, a colony founded in 709 BC, located on the Anatolian bank of the Propontis is a significant littoral city which accomodated two harbours. The ancient city’s location and riches are now the heritage of the modern day Kemer Village of Biga Municipality, Çanakkale Province, which is a fishing village. The city being a polis until the Roman sovereignty was mentioned by many ancient writers regarding its different aspects. One of the aspects which is made mention of is the marine food procured and processed in Parion. Marine food attested in Parion through ancient writers, archaeological evidence and epigraphic sources range from fish and salted fish to crabs and oysters.
The intention of this paper will be to approach ancient fishing by the archaeological material related to the procuring, processing and production of the aforementioned marine food species along with evaluating the species and techniques used with the modern Turkish and Greek terminology and techniques of fishing in order to establish the species known to mankind today, together with establishing the production techniques. Material regarding this paper are the ancient writings, archaeological evidences and epigraphic evidences related to the topic. Consequently this paper is aimed to establish the place, techniques and diversity of fishing in Parion; regarding the disciplines of archaeology, economy, sociology and biology.

Propontis and its environs, regarding its geopolitical location, witnessed significant cultural changes and the founding of important colonies during the great colonisation period of 750-550 BC. Throughout its history having hosted so much significant cultural and political events; it is obvious that the archaeology of the rich Propontis and its environs have not been able to be improved and discussed in international scale, although many decades have passed since the commencing of excavations as Troia, Assos, Kyzikos and Ainos. The archaeological excavations have gained momentum and the published academic works regarding the region have considerably increased as a result of the sponsorships that begun with Parion, and later continued with Smintheion, Troia, Assos and Alexandria Troas by İÇDAŞ INC.; one of the most significant industrial establishment of the region and Turkey. The planned symposium, under the name of " International Symposium of Propontis and the Surrounding Cultures " , intends to evaluate the current situation of the region's archaeology and to establish archaeological interregional connections with the participation of academics conducting research in a wide geographical area including cities of the Attic Delos League, Troas, Bithynia, Mysia, Northern Ionia, Balkan Peninsula, Black Sea basin together with the Greek Islands Furthermore, with such an international symposium; the momentum gained in archaeological excavations and publications will progress further, the promotion of Çanakkale and the archaeology of the region, and it is clear that the proceeding publication which is planned to be published in Turkish and English, will become one of the most significant reference sources for the region's archaeology and culture. Content of the conference is thought to be as the topics stated below regarding the archaeology of Propontis and the surrounding area within the period range from the PreHistory to the end of the Byzantine Period.
