Quote:Ah, was Sebastopol also a Dioscurias, like Suchumi?
Robert, there was only one Greek colony in the area of the modern Sevastopol (Crimea) — Chersonesos. Besides, modern Sevastopol was founded only in 1783. I was not talking about that one. 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. BTW, Sebastopolis was a part of the Pontic limes. So, please go North-West from Sukhum back into the Crimea.
Quote: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.
