Additional ancient towns[edit]
per the Wiki dab:
- Alexandria Troas, in the ancient Troad, Asia Minor, near modern Dalyan, Turkey
- Alexandria ad Latmum, in ancient Caria, probably near modern Karpuzlu, Turkey
- Alexandria in Susiana, later Charax Spasinu, modern Iraq
- Alexandria Carmania, unknown location, Iran
- Alexandria Ariana, possibly modern Herat, Afghanistan
- Alexandria Prophthasia, location unknown, in modern Afghanistan
- Alexandria on the Oxus, Bactria, in modern Afghanistan
- Alexandria Bucephalous, modern Punjab, Pakistan
- Alexandria Nicaea, modern Nicaea, Punjab, Pakistan
- Alexandria on the Indus, possibly modern Uch, Pakistan
- Alexandria in Orietai, possibly near modern Bela, Pakistan
- Alexandria Hyphasis, modern East Punjab, India
Can't speak to the accuracy of those, though. The Tajik city was listed as Ferghana (a city in Uzbekistan) instead of Khujand or the Ferghana Valley. Some of the entries treat Punjab as a city instead of a region. Etc. — LlywelynII 21:08, 12 February 2024 (UTC)
