Where the record is dense · 记录之疏密

Located places by macro-region — the gazetteer is Mediterranean-dense and frontier-sparse, an artefact of survival and scholarship as much as antiquity. Italy and the Aegean lead.

The ancient world in points · 古代世界点图

A 2,600-place sample, coloured by category — the Mediterranean, the river valleys, and the limes emerge from the density. Magalia builds its editions on of these places.

Magalia's places, enriched · 本站地名(已充实) — the places the site's editions sit on

The Pleiades places the site's editions sit on, now carrying their Pleiades type, precision, and gloss. Each links to its gazetteer entry.
