Classical Antiquity
Classical antiquity (also the classical era, classical period or classical age) is the period of cultural history between the 8th century BC and the 5th century AD centred on the Mediterranean Sea, comprising the interlocking civilizations of ancient Greece and ancient Rome known as the Greco-Roman world. It is the period in which both Greek and Roman societies flourished and wielded huge influence throughout much of Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. Conventionally, it is taken to begin with the earliest-recorded Epic Greek poetry of Homer (8th–7th-century BC), and continues through the emergence of Christianity (1st century AD) and the fall of the Western Roman Empire (5th-century AD). It ends with the decline of classical culture during late antiquity (250–750), a period overlapping with the Early Middle Ages (600–1000). Such a wide span of history and territory covers many disparate cultures and periods. ''Classical antiquity'' may also refer to an idealized v ...

Erzurum had a population of 367,250 in 2010. The city uses the double-headed eagle as its coat-of-arms, a motif that has been a common symbol throughout Anatolia since the Bronze Age.

It is presumed its name was derived from a local tribe called the Karenitis. Darbinian, M. "Erzurum," Armenian Soviet Encyclopedia. Yerevan: Armenian Academy of Sciences, 1978, vol. 4, p. 93. An alternate theory contends that a local princely family, the Kamsarakans, the Armenian off-shoot of the Iranian Kārin Pahlav family, lent its name to the locale that eventually bec ...

Perperene
Perperene ( grc, Περπερηνή ''Perperini'') or Perperena (Περπερήνα ''Perperina'') was a city of ancient Mysia on the south-east of Adramyttium, in the neighbourhood of which there were copper mines and good vineyards. It was said by some to be the place in which Thucydides had died. Stephanus of Byzantium calls the town Parparum or Parparon (Παρπάρων), but he writes that some called the place Perine. Ptolemy calls it Perpere or Permere. According to the Suda, Hellanicus of Lesbos, a 5th-century BC Greek logographer, died at Perperene at age 85. At a later date it was given the name Theodosiopolis or Theodosioupolis (Θεοδοσιούπολις). It is located near Aşagı Beyköy, on the Kozak plateau near Bergama in the Izmir province of Turkey in western Anatolia.

Euaza
Euaza, located in what is modern Turkey was a town during the Hellenic, Roman and Byzantine era. The town was in the upper portion of the Cayster River valley, about 100 km east from Ephesus. The town also known as Augaza, appears in Notitiea episcipum of the 9th century. The area is still mainly agricultural. Location The exact site of Euaza is still unknown save that it was in the upper reaches of the Cayster River valley. Some speculation holds it in the area of Dioshieron and Kolophốn, and was probably in the region of Mount Tmolus. Zgusta, argues it was located at the city of Algizea in Caria, but being outside the provence of Asia makes this identification problematic. Arnold Hugh Martin Jones called Evaza a "wretched little town" based on the "case of Bassianos" who Jones feels was ''banished'' to this insignificant place in the hills behind Ephesus, the metropolis. Name The town was known as Euaza (Εύάξα), Augaza (Aύγαξα) Eugaza and latter The ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

One of the oldest cities in Upper Mesopotamia, the area of Ras al-Ayn has been inhabited since at least the Neolithic age ( 8,000 BC). Later known as the ancient Aramean city of Sikkan, the Roman city of Rhesaina, and the Byzantine city of Theodosiopolis, the town was destroyed and rebuilt several times, and in medieval times was the site of fierce battles between several Muslim dynasties.

With a population of 29,347 (), it is the third largest city in al-Hasakah Governorate, and the administrative center of Ras al-Ayn District.

Theodosiopolis In Arcadia
Theodosiopolis (in Arcadia) was an Ancient city and diocese in Lower Egypt, The town was the seat of an ancient bishopric and is now a Latin Catholic titular see. Its modern site is Taha Al-Amidah, (Governorate of Minya) in northern Egypt. History Theodosiopolis was important enough in the Late Roman province of Arcadia Aegypti to be a suffragan of its capital Oxyrhynchus's Metropolitan Archbishopric,Joseph Bingham, Origines Ecclesiasticæ: Or, The Antiquities of the Christian Church, and Other Works, of the Rev. Joseph Bingham, Volume 3(W. Straker, 1840) p 202. but the bishopric was to fade with the city.

Tebtunis
Tebtunis was a city and later town in Lower Egypt. The settlement was founded in approximately 1800 BCE by the Twelfth Dynasty king Amenemhat III. It was located in what is now the village of Tell Umm el-Baragat in the Faiyum Governorate. In Tebtunis there were many Greek and Roman buildings. It was a rich town and was a very important regional center during the Ptolemaic period. It is possible that Tebtunis was identical with a town called Theodosiopolis (from grc-koi, Θεοδοσιούπολις ''Theodosioúpolis''), which is only attested since late antiquity. In Coptic, it became Toutōn (Arabic ''Tuṯun''). In the Middle Ages, Toutōn was a major centre of Coptic manuscript copying. At least thirteen existing manuscripts were copied there between AD 861 and 940. The present village of Tuṯun is located about south of Umm el-Baragat.René-Georges Coquin"Tuṯun" ''The Coptic Encyclopedia'' (Macmillan, 1991), 7: 2283a–2283b.
