For a generally accepted spelling, I sure have never seen Bosporan as a spelling until it was posted on this thread. I've always known it as Bosphorus.

Well, Keravnos says its Bosphorus, therfore it is. The EB gods have spoken!

Thanks a lot, but...
Seriously guys, don't!

-we 're all friends here,
-none is above all others,
-none is infallible

I pride myself not in being correct all the time, but in fixing what I did wrong.

Let me look into this and I will start a thread later as to why it should be Bosporan or Bosphoran.

I fear that without meaning to, I have helped a "simple mistake" keep on living, much like the "hoplon" shield, which never existed. (It is "aspis" shield, "hoplon"=weapon(generic name for any weapon)

Innit like a "one size fits all" description for all tools of war, including weapons, shields and perhaps even armor? That's the quarterpounder explanation I heard anyhow

You already explained it in the AtB thread, I think.

would be interesting. i see no reason to use a "ph" although some, like english and french speakers, use it...

the original surely doesn't.

But the other link is from a respected university.

Roma Surrectum has the Kingdom of Cimmerian Bosporus in it! :P Nothing like shameless advertising in another mods forum.

Spelling aside, if you can train them then do!
