    Contributors:
  • This "Mesopotamian-style temple" site located near modern Dishu in Afghanistan's Helmand province was excavated in the 1970s. Carbon-14 dates and "Greek-style architectural fragments and fine red pottery" led the excavators to date the use of the site from the late Hellenistic and Parthian period to "the beginning of the Sasanian period in the 3rd century" CE. Finds included a fragmentary bilingual (Greek/Aramaic) inscription possibly mentioning a Parthian king Phraates and the Iranian deity Ahuramazda.

  • A place included in the Regionary Catalogues for Regio XI, the Aedes Mater Deum is otherwise obscure. According to Richardson, the toponym may refer to the statue of Magna Mater on the spina of the Circus Maximus.

    Contributors:
  • Located adjacent to the modern village of el-Samara (Dakahlia governorate, Egypt) and partly covered by its cemetery, this tell provides archaeological evidence for one of the earliest settlements identified in the Nile delta. Excavations have demonstrated that the settlement was founded in the 5th millennium BCE and subsequent habitation of the site continued to the beginning of the third millennium BCE.
