Ancient World Mapping Center

AWMC continues to devote a good deal of energy to the creation and curation of cultural metadata as part of its ongoing mapping projects and efforts. With the launch of the Antiquity À-la-carte application, which allows users to select the language in which toponyms are displayed on customized maps, AWMC is happy to offer the first packet of ancient place names in Greek characters. These names are published here on the AWMC API and can also be downloaded as an Excel file. AWMC is grateful to the careful work of Luke Hagemann (UNC Classics) who has compiled and verified these names. AWMC hopes to furnish additional packets of cultural metadata in the near future.
