Last week the Pleiades editorial college published 13 new and 165 updated place resources, reflecting the work of Jeffrey Becker, Anika Campbell, Tom Elliott, Brady Kiesling and Enes Yılandiloğlu.
A terrain map with orange markers for updates and pink circles for new place resources. The map stretches from the British Isles in the northwest to Sri Lanka in the southeast.
New Place Resources
- Berlanga
Berlanga de Duero is a Spanish municipality located in the province of Soria, in the autonomous region of Castile and León. An object dubbed the "Berlanga cup" was discovered here. This object is a hemispherical bowl that belongs to a small group of artifacts referred to as "Hadrian's Wall pans", as these vessels depict places and names from sites along the line of Hadrian's Wall.

Published by: Jeffrey Becker - Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World identified by Hellenistic authors, and they may well have been historical; however, their location in the city of Babylon is unclear, as there is no definitive archaeological evidence or Babylonian texts mentioning the gardens. Both ancient and modern commentators have conflated this reported "paradeisos" with various other monuments, both real and imagined.

Civita di Bagno is the modern name for a small settlement that dates back at least to the Roman Late Republican period. Within the modern town, several key monuments are known, such as a podium temple (late 2nd c. BCE?), identified as that of Feronia by an inscription from the reign of Tiberius, a bath complex beneath Palazzo Oliva, and the medieval remains of the cathedral of San Massimo which reuses much ancient material, as well as funerary remains along the ancient road network. On the adjacent Moritola hill is a vast system of terracing, which in its earliest phase dates to the 2nd c. BCE, that supported a monumental complex of difficult interpretation, but with an important hydraulic infrastructure. This complex underwent multiple modifications over the centuries; in the 5th c. CE the complex was transformed by the installation of two kilns and a limekiln. By the 6th c. CE Civita di Bagno was the seat of a bishop.

RENames prefers to place Ptolemy's Dounion at Bradbury Rings. Rivet 1979 reconstructs the Latin name "Dunum" for Ptolemy's Dounion, but it is not attested in ancient sources.
