If the question is about Ancient University Centres, I have a my own question. Dark Island for Casse and may be for other Gauls, Sparta Agoge for western Greeks (or for other Greeks too?). Well are there any similar places for other cultures?

Athens always seem to give lots of interesting Ancillaries for Romans...

Historically, Athens and Rhodos were the university centres, also Alexandreia was quite good for doctors.

In the early Hellenistic Age, Alexandreia was a huge centre of learning, intellectuals gathered there to share knowledge and made themselves known. It ended when Ptolemaios VIII Euergetes II (Physcon) started killing them and a lot of intellectuals fled the city.
