Passaron was an ancient Greek city in Epirus, founded by the Molossian king Tharrhypas between about 420 and 400 BCE as the capital of the Molossian kingdom, where the Molossian kings and the assembled people took mutual oaths, the kings to govern according to the laws and the people to defend the kingdom. In 330 BCE it became the capital of the newly united kingdom of Epirus, a role it held until 295 BCE when Pyrrhus of Epirus moved the capital to Ambracia. The Roman praetor Lucius Anicius Gallus captured the town in 167 BCE.
