My proposal to EB 2 Team. Remove the ahistorical city Skythiapolis and add the historical one Tanais

[b0Gia de Bodemloze]

What do you think?

[b0Gia de Bodemloze]

Things have changed.

[tobymoby]

Do you have evidence that Skythiapolis did not exist?

[maurel]

well. i guess the question is: Do we have evidence that skythiapolis did exist ?

[Doulkus Pontikus]

Agreed.

It is a city in the sky?

[Achilles Lacedaemon]

If you pointed it out in a map, you probably would be more persuasive. A lot of people dont know what thiss thing is all about.

This a strange thread, what is the difficulty? Just look the place up, it is not difficult to find even for a complete novice- wikipedia even has a post. Otherwise their numerous mentions in the primary sources, take for example the writings of Josephus http://www.jjs-online.net/toc.php?su...rticle&review=
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/...Beitshean.html

Those two links are not the most exhaustive sources I could find, but suffice to show a city called Scythopolis

[QuintusSertorius]

In any case, you can't put Tanais back in; that's in the province of Maeotis and has been replaced by Paniardis (on the opposite bank of the Don river). Putting in two that close together serves no purpose.

The difficulty is that the OP is trying to convince the community, therefore he makes efforts to prove and persuade others of his proposal, not us to consider his.

Its how it works.

But he doesn't...it's just a question,and he even asked for this thread to be deleted.

[Darkan]

No need for name calling ...

[Avarice1987]

Ich wollte Ihn auch nicht beleidigen, da mein Englisch aber nicht das bste ist ist mir keine Passendere bezeichnung eingefallen.

Er hätte den EB 2 namen nur in Google eingeben müssen und dann hätte er die Stadt gefunden.
