Quote: I was still talking about the Milesian apoikia Dioscurias, situated in the area of the modern Sukhum. In Roman times, it was known as Sebastopolis.Ah! I was thinking of two colonies named Dioscurias instead of which there was one, but two towns named Sebastopolis instead. Confusing!
Quote:Indeed! :-DQuote:I was lured there by your hint of fighting in the modern city.I was referring to the fighting that occurred during WWII. Perhaps, I was not clear enough.
