Karystos — by G. Reger — last modified Sep 05, 2023 09:53 AM

Karystos was a Greek polis located on the south coast of Euboea. It is included in Homer's "catalogue of ships" in the Iliad and its name is also thought to be attested in Linear B documents. The ancient acropolis hill, which lies to the north of the modern coastal village, is now occupied by the remains of the Venetian "Castel Rosso".

Kas(h)kar — by A. Hausleiter — last modified Oct 16, 2023 08:28 PM

Kas(h)kar was a significant Sasanian city, originally built on the west bank of the Tigris river in what is now modern Iraq's al-Kut district. A major flood in antiquity moved the channel of the Tigris, leaving Kashkar on the east bank. The city was supplanted by the new city of Wasit, built in the 8th century CE; Kashkar was subsequently abandoned. The original city is presumed to have lain somewhere in the vicinity of the modern residential area northeast of modern Wasit, across the heavily-controlled modern Tigris.

Kaspiai Pylai/Albaniai Pylai — by David Braund — last modified Dec 15, 2020 05:33 AM

Kaspiai Pylai/Albaniai Pylai, also referred to as Portae Caspiae by Pliny, is used to describe both the Sirdara Pass in the Elburs mountains and the road from Darband to the Caspian Sea.

Kaspiai Pylai/Caucasiae Portae — by David Braund — last modified Apr 12, 2021 06:56 PM

The river Terek flows through the Darial Gorge in eastern Georgia along the flank of Mount Kazbek. This natural pass was known by many names in antiquity, including the Caspian Gates, the Caucasian Gates, and the Gates of Iberia. It was also referred to as the Gates of the Sarmatians and the Gates of the Alans. The latter name provides the source for the current toponym describing the gorge itself. Anderson 1928 notes that "Caspian Gates" (Caspiae portae) is used to refer to at least three locations in the ancient sources, with the Darial Gorge being one of those.
