Ancyra (Phrygia)
An ancient settlement of Phrygia, near the origin of the Mekestos river. Heavily spoliated, especially since the mid-19th century, and now cultivated, a Byzantine fortress on the hill immediately east of modern Boğazköy in Turkey's Kütahya province is uniformly identified with this ancient Ankyra. Many modern commentators have adopted the name "Ancyra Sidera" on the basis of an entry for a bishop in Latin and Syriac versions of the attendees the Council of Chalcedon (missing from the Greek witnesses), but Price 2010 asserts it may be a corruption of a lost original entry for a bishop of "Ancyra and Synaos".

Area di Monte Giulio e Capitaneria
The low hill known as Monte Giulio is anthropic, formed by the accumulation of sediment atop an ancient quay.

This complex seems to have been connected to the management of port traffic and was in use from the reign of Claudius until the fourth century.

(As)Syria (region)
The long-lived, ancient region of Assyria, which originated with ancient Aššur and its empire in the early first millennium BCE. Understanding of its extent shifted with time and the perspectives of ancient writers. For Herodotus, Pliny, and Strabo (whose individual understanding seems to have differed), it was a broad region, centered on Mesopotamia. For the Assyrian kings and subsequent imperial powers of the region (as well as Biblical authors), it was confined to a more specific area along the Tigris, corresponding to what is now sometimes referred to as the "Assyrian Homeland". It seems likely that this tighter definition also applied to the ephemeral Roman province of Assyria that is reported to have been established during Trajan's short-lived incursion into Mesopotamia.

Assyria (kingdom)
Aššur, later Māt Aššur ('the land of the god Aššur'), grew from a small city-state and important trading center to a powerful, wide-spread empire. At is zenith in the seventh century BC, the Assyrian Empire (883-609 BC) dominated much of the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean, stretching from the Persian Gulf in the south to the Mediterranean Sea in the west. Assyria's heartland, an area also referred to as Subartu, roughly corresponds to northern Iraq (Nineveh Governorate) and includes the numerous important cities, especially Aššur (Assyria's traditional religious and administrative capital), Kalhu, Dur-Šarrukin, and Nineveh (the capital of the Assyrian Empire).

Civita di Bagno
Civita di Bagno is the modern name for a small settlement that dates back at least to the Roman Late Republican period. Within the modern town, several key monuments are known, such as a podium temple (late 2nd c. BCE?), identified as that of Feronia by an inscription from the reign of Tiberius, a bath complex beneath Palazzo Oliva, and the medieval remains of the cathedral of San Massimo which reuses much ancient material, as well as funerary remains along the ancient road network. On the adjacent Moritola hill is a vast system of terracing, which in its earliest phase dates to the 2nd c. BCE, that supported a monumental complex of difficult interpretation, but with an important hydraulic infrastructure. This complex underwent multiple modifications over the centuries; in the 5th c. CE the complex was transformed by the installation of two kilns and a limekiln. By the 6th c. CE Civita di Bagno was the seat of a bishop.

Dandagula/Dantapura/Paloura
The name "Dandagula" (Pliny) has long been identified with a "Dantapura" mentioned in Buddhist texts and "Paloura" (Ptolemy) has long been identified as coincident. Law 1976 (whence BAtlas) places them at the former fortified settlement of Dantapura, "on the southern bank of the river Vamśadharā, three miles from Chicacole Road Station".

Eastern Outer Wall of Babylon
The Neo-Babylonian ruler Nabopolassar (r. 625–605 BC) started planning and constructing an outer wall around the eastern side of Babylon. This massive mudbrick brick wall, together with its protective quay wall and a wide moat, remained unfinished at the time of Nabopolassar’s death. His son and successor Nebuchadnezzar II (r. 604–562 BC) finished the work started by his father. Traces of Babylon’s once-impressive eastern outer wall are still visible today.

Mons
A toponym (in the ablative: "Monte") attested in Peutinger Map routes between Sitifis and Cuicul (and possibly between Ad Olivam and Ruzai). It is perhaps to be identified with the ancient site of Mopht(i?), modern El-Kasr in Algeria's Beni Fouda municipality (Sétif Province), but if so presents problems of interpretation as the Peutinger Map separately treats a "Mopti Municipium".

Mousopallis
Attested by Ptolemy, who makes it a metropolis, BAtlDir treated Mousopallis as an unlocated "inland settlement in Mysore" based on Ptolemy's listing it under the surprising heading "inland cities of piratical men".

Villa del Saraceno (Giglio)
A massive Roman maritime villa that stretched across multiple platforms and the hill known as Poggio del Castellare at Giglio Porto. It was continuously occupied from the first century BCE through the fourth century CE and was renovated and expanded multiple times. During the empire, it was equipped with a large fishpond (the so-called Bagno del Saraceno/Cala del Saracino), which had been converted from an original landing, as well as a lighthouse and possibly thermal baths. Subsequent structures have been built with and over the villa and some of its components are now underwater as well.
