    how about Terhazza?

    No seriously is it an actual city? It looks like it is in Mali.

    I THINK it might be Timbucktu, but do not quote me by any means. The location looks about right though.

    Can the original poster add to his list after confirmation of the city
    so it's easier for all to be in sync?

    This is a good topic

    Someone might have come up with these already, but:

    Arretium - Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy
    Byzantion - Istanbul, Turkey
    Lilybaeum (not sure if it's in EB as well) - Marsala, Sicily, Italy
    Massalia - Marseilles, France
    Patavium - Padua, Venice, Italy



    By the way, can someone post a game map of EB on
    wikipedia so there's easy access for all of us?

    The updated EB map can be found in the features page of the EB website. The 2007 map preview contains a downloadable version (it's for EB 1.0, but IIRC there have been no map changes since). There is a downloadable plain 1.0 map somewhere, but the EB team has hidden it well.

    Ahh I see, I wasn't aware that Ani-Kamah and medieval Ani were different settlements. Thanks for the correction :)

Known to the ancients as Melita and the island of Calypso, now are known as Malta and Gozo. ( I hope the are there in EB 2.)

    Cheers.
    No it won't because the province limit was actually decreased by one.

    Carali = Cagliari
    Mastia = Cartagena
    Numantia = destroyed, but the ruins are near Soria

    Actually, the province limit has remained exactly the same. However Vanilla M2TW uses *2* regions to represent the sea; and RTW only 1.

    Karali / Caralis = Cagliari, Sardegna, Italy.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cagliari

    The most significant example of the Nuraghi are in Barumini, about 45 minutes north of Cagliari. It's a UNESCO World Heritage site.

    Emain-Macha is a celtic monument just west of Armagh (Armagh comes from "Height of Macha") in Northern Ireland. So it's probably best just to put this down as Armagh - anyone visiting the city will just be directed to the site about 2km away.

    Ivernis was the capital of the Iverni tribe in south-west Ireland (see here on the map), but actually locating it is proving tricky, as there is not much there now. The closest modern settlement is Sneem.

    Also, Tuat is modern-day Adrar in Algeria, which is a town sited at an oasis. Tuat now describes a region of Algeria of which Adrar is the administrative capital.

    Hope this all helps!

    I think some of these have already been submitted, but here's a list from the back of Rex Warner's translation of Caesar's Commentaries.

    Samarobriva=Amiens
    Vesontio=Besancon
    Avaricum=Bourges
    Brundisium=Brindisi
    Poitiers=Lemonum

    Hope this helps out.

    I think Terhazza is roughly situated in northern Mali. Although it doesn't say it here on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taghaza), I assume over time Terhazza became Taghaza.

    So if we look at a modern map of Mali, http://www.nationsonline.org/maps/mali_map.jpg, Terhazza/Taghaza is closest to the city of Taoudenni in Mali?.

    This is all guess work, if anyone has any information on this I submit without a fight to any corrections :P.

    "Hisarlik, often spelled Hissarlik, is the modern name for the site of ancient Troy, also known as Ilion, and is located in what is now Turkey (historically Anatolia)." —courtesy of Wikipedia.

    I can't believe I'm the first person to list this!

    Well, the thread is only supposed to list settlements present in EB, which Troy isn't. Though I see that other absent cities have been listed as well.
