Perinthus or Perinthos was a great and flourishing town of ancient Thrace, situated on the Propontis. It lay 22 miles west of Selymbria, on a small peninsula of the bay which bears its name, and was built like an amphitheatre, on the declivity of a hill. It was originally a Samian colony, and, according to George Syncellus, was founded about 599 BCE. German archaeologist Theodor Panofka, however, makes it contemporary with Samothrace, that is about 1000 BCE. It was particularly renowned for its obstinate defence against Philip V of Macedon At that time it appears to have been a more important and flourishing town even than Byzantium; and being both a harbour and a point at which several main roads met, it was the seat of an extensive commerce. This circumstance explains the reason why so many of its coins are still extant; from which we learn that large and celebrated festivals were held here. According to John Tzetzes, it bore at an early period the name of Mygdonia (Μυγδονία) and at a later one, but not before the fourth century CE, it assumed the name of Heraclea or Heracleia (Ἡράκλεια); which we find sometimes used alone, and sometimes with additions Heraclea Thraciae and Heraclea Perinthus. Justinian restored the old imperial palace, and the aqueducts of the city. Coins of Perinthus have also survived.

The ChS3 is a type of 4-axle passenger direct current electric locomotive, manufactured in 1961, which was used in the Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. In 1960, due to the increase in passenger trains, the Skoda factory was ordered to design and produce a more powerful locomotive type than the ChS1. The plant's management decided to base the new electric locomotives on the ChS1 class of locomotive. Therefore, the more powerful AL4846eT traction motors and traction drive were installed in the experimental ChS1 locomotive. Thus, the ChS3 design was an improved version of the ChS1.
