Ancient and present city names

[Majd il-Romani]

how about Terhazza?

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

There's also:

Petridava - Kamianets-Podilskyi, Ukraine.

I THINK it might be Timbucktu, but do not quote me by any means.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.

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.
