How to use the Places database

This list contains the names of all the places that are in the database. You can sort by place name or region, or by any of the other columns. We have added links to geo-databases such as Pleiades or Trismegistos.

In the search box (top left) you can type in any search string: e.g. a name or a part of a place name, e.g., "Sillyon", but also "yon", which should help you with fragmentary place names. Of course, you can also search for a term that appears in one of the other columns.

The list contains only basic information, but if you click on an individual place, you will be guided towards the record for each place. There you will find all the information we have on that place, including lists of athletes/performers who have their origin there, honorary citizens, and soon also athletes/performers who were active there. You will also find a list of festivals organised in that place. Soon registered users will be able to add their own comments.
