Anurādhapura
The ancient capital of Sri Lanka from the fourth century BCE to the 11th century CE. It was recorded under the name Anourogrammon by Ptolemy, who notes its primary political status (Basileion). It has sometimes been argued that a "Palaesimundum" mentioned by Pliny in retelling the story of a Sri Lankan embassy to the emperor Claudius is also to be identified with Anourogrammon. A large number of numismatic finds from many periods have been reported in the vicinity.

Centenarium Aqua Frigida
The ancient name of this fortified grain-house is known only from a Latin inscription describing its restoration by a governor of Mauretaniae Caesariensis in the mid 290s CE under Diocletain and his tetrarchic colleagues. The inscription's findspot, near a spring in Algeria's Kefrida Pass depression, is close to remains of Roman fortifications noticed by French scholars in the 19th century on either side of the pass. They presumably guarded a road that ran south from Muslubium, as well as water sources (the "Aqua Frigida" itself?) supplying Muslubium via a recently discovered aqueduct (Ouaret Ladjouze). The modern toponymic component "K'frida" presumably reflects the ancient "Frigida".

A Greek city of ancient Caria that was part of the Dorian Hexapolis, was initially probably located at modern Burgaz in south-western Asia Minor on the Datça peninsula (Knidia) in Turkey.

Davti-blur
Davti-blur is the Armenian name of an Urartian settlement situated on a natural hill near the modern village Nor-Armavir. Just like the settlement on the immediately adjacent hill, Armavir, which in Urartian was called Argištihinili ("city of Argišti"), it was founded by Argišti I, son of Minua (8th century BCE). In Davti-Blur, a column base with an inscription of Argišti I was found, which reports the construction of a building. Furthermore, several inscriptions on clay pithoi by Argišti have been found there, which attest to the administrative activity at this place. A stone block of the Urartian king Sarduri II, son of Argišti I (8th century BCE), reveals that the place was further developed and extended by Sarduri II.

Mareia?/Philoxenite
Immediately north of modern Hawwariya on the southern shore of Lake Mariout in Egypt, archaeological excavations have uncovered an extensive and evidently purpose-built settlement of the latter sixth century CE, with remains of harbor and industrial installations, baths, shops, a funerary church, and a large basilica. This site, probably to be identified as Philoxenite, catered to the needs of pilgrims traveling to the shrine of Saint Menas in Abu Mina. It expanded and replaced a site of at least Hellenistic and Roman date that is perhaps to be identified as Mareia.

Mausoleum Hadriani
Mausoleum Hadriani (now Castel Sant'Angelo) located on the right bank of the Tiber River was an imperial mausoleum built by Hadrian between 134 and 139 CE. It continued as a tomb for subsequent emperors through to Caracalla, who died in 217 CE. By 401 the tomb had become a fortress with Honorius incorporating it into the line of the Aurelianic walls. During Alaric's sacking of Rome in 410 the mausoleum was looted and the ash urns dispersed. Procopius describes the destruction of the tomb's bronze statuary in 537. By the fourteenth century, the mausoleum had become a papal fortress. At one point, a fortified corridor known as Passetto di Borgo connected the fortress to St. Peter's Basilica.

The so-called "Meta Romuli" was a pyramidal tomb located in the Ager Vaticanus in Rome. It likely dates to the first century BCE or the first century CE. Its extant superstructure was demolished in 1499.

A region of northwestern Asia Minor that ancient sources associate with the Mysi, a people who had migrated there from Thrace, probably late in the second millennium BCE.

Nagadiba
Ptolemy records a city and island called "Nagadiba" and also provides the ethnic name "Nagadiboi". One strand of twentieth century western scholarship, reflected in BAtlas, tentatively placed this site on the northeastern coast of Sri Lanka in the vicinity of modern Trincomalee (see also Emmanuel 2000). Another scholarly tradition, most recently repeated in Ashire 2012, identifies the Ptolemaic Nagadiba with the island and settlement hosting what is now known as the Nagadeepa/Nainadhivu Buddhist shrine off the northern peninsula of Jaffna.

Pergamum
An important ancient settlement, located at modern Bergama in Turkey. It was first described in Xenophon's Anabasis and was later used as a treasury under Lysimachus. Pergamum became the administrative capital and principal city of the Attalid kingdom and dynasty (282-133 BCE) and was briefly the first capital of the Roman province of Asia. It later was a seat of a Christian bishopric and is listed in Revelation as one of the seven churches of Asia. It was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014 under "Pergamon and its Multi-Layered Cultural Landscape".

Tolmo de Minateda
Tolmo de Minateda was an early Roman hilltop oppidum located in the municipal territory of modern Helin in the Spanish autonomous community of Castilla-La Mancha. It was abandoned in the second century CE and then reoccupied in Late Antiquity (ca. 590 CE) as a Visigothic episcopal see during the Byzantine-Visigothic war. It was finally abandoned in the ninth century, and the population was resettled in Murcia, a new foundation. Tolmo de Minateda has been tentatively identified with the attested placename Ilounon.

(Vo)pisciana
The Antonine Itinerary attests to a station "Vopiscianis" (GeogRav "Bobiscianis") on the route from Tocolosida (modern Bled Takourart in Morocco) to Tingi (modern Tangier). Ptolemy's "Piskiana" would seem to reference the same feature or a nearby settlement associated with the road station.
