Atlas Adjustment: Praesidium

The Map-by-Map Directory and alphabetical gazetteer entries for Praesidium do not match the labels used on “Map 35: Sequana-Rhenus” in the Barrington Atlas and therefore require adjustment.

Directory adjustments

In the Names table on page 535 of the Map-by-Map Directory change the entry in the Name column for “Taricheiai/Zouchis §Zeucheris §Praesidium” to read “Taricheiai/Zouchis/Praesidium §Zeucheris.” Adjust the contents of the Period and Reference columns to match. The adjusted portion of the table should read as follows:

Grid Name Period Modern name / Location Reference
⋮
F2 Tarhuna HRL Goodchild 1976, 103
D1 Taricheiai/
Zouchis/

Gazetteer adjustment

Insert an entry in the alphabetical gazetteer at the back of the atlas volume as follows:

⋮
Praesidium SPN, 24 D2
Praesidium SPN, 26 C4
Praesidium TUN, 35 D1
Praesidium (…) TUN, 35 C2
Praesidium Iulium POR, 26 B2
⋮

Please note that our update entries follow the conventions of the Barrington Atlas in the formatting of placenames; i.e., modern placenames are presented in italics, ancient placenames in regular type.
