A major, but relatively short-lived, fortified site in the Zagros mountains of modern Iraqi Kurdistan comprising two settlement loci within a large fortified area. Remains include stone foundations for mudbrick fortification walls and buildings, a stone-cut stairway, and two rock-reliefs depicting an unnamed ruler in elaborate costume. The complex has some evidence for reoccupation in Sasanian, Islamic and modern times.

An imperial capital of the Arsacid and Sassanid empire, this large ancient city originated at least as early as the third century BCE and declined in the eighth century of the modern era. It was located on the left bank of the Tigris river 35km south of what would later become modern Baghdad in Iraq. It was part of a complex network of settlements in the area, among which Seleucia (modern Vēh Ardašīr) also featured prominently. It was attacked, and sometimes occupied, by Roman forces multiple times.

An ancient region covering a large part of southwestern Europe, roughly approximating the territory of modern France. It was bounded by the Atlantic ocean, the Pyrenees mountains, the Mediterranean, the Alps, and the river Rhine. Gallia was famously described by Caesar as the territory of the ancient Celts (Celtae), whom the Romans called Gauls (Galli in Latin), hence the common modern usage "Gaul" for the region.

The sanctuary sacred to Demeter is located on the Gypsadhes hill, just south of the Minoan 'palace' complex. On this hill, D.G. Hogarth excavated a series of Minoan houses beginning in 1900. Within this area, a first-millennium BCE sanctuary would develop. Excavation reports note the comingling of Minoan remains and Hellenistic deposits. The Classical sanctuary was suspected in 1927 on the basis of sporadic finds, but significant excavations did not begin until 1957.

The ancient Sira corresponds to the modern Oued El Hammam in Algeria, which originates above Hammam bou Hanifia (ancient Aquae Sirenses) and the modern reservoir there. At modern Mohammadia (ancient Castra Nova), the river leaves the mountains and becomes known as the Oued Habra. Its course north across the plain and associated wetlands to empty into the Mediterranean east of modern Mers El Hadjadj is surely much altered from antiquity.
