'Ir David/Wadi Hilweh — by Gabriel Mckee — last modified Sep 16, 2018 12:24 PM

The City of David is the name given in the 20th century to an archaeological site located in the Arab neighborhood of Wadi Hilweh, located south of the Temple Mount and the Ophel in East Jerusalem. The site contains pottery from as early as the Chalcolithic Age, and has been proposed as a possible original core of the city of Jerusalem. The Silwa necropolis, a burial site dated to the 9th-7th centuries BCE, is located within this area.

Agiria — by H.S. Sivan — last modified Jul 08, 2022 11:41 PM

A Roman road station in Spain mentioned only in the Antonine Itinerary, which places it between Albonica (unlocated) and Carae (unlocated) on the road between Laminium (probably Alhambra) and "Caesarea Augusta" (Zaragosa). No archaeological site can yet be tied conclusively to this mansio. BAtlas tentatively followed one of the potential identifications by placing the symbol at modern Calamocha, but other scholars have suggested modern Salvacañete instead.
