Aquincum, Thessalonica, Byzantine Empire under Heraclius

Hello Kandi,

There is a mistake in the map you have created which I hope you can correct: the town on the Danube where Budapest is is "Aquincum" not "Akvinium". (It think this has been transliterated in Cyrillic and then back again.) It is also traditional for history maps in English to write Latin "Thessalonica" instead of modern "Thessaloniki". Also the label "Byzantine Empire under Heraclius, 610-841" is very strange: it makes it sound as though the emperor lived 230 years and it makes it look as if the empire kept control of all that territory after the Arab conquests; obviously neither of these is the case!

Kherson

I am not educated in history, but the position of Kherson confused me. From the English Wikipedia, I now learned that the name of Kherson (a city on the Dnieper River, north of the Crimean peninsula) is inspired by Chersonesus (an ancient Greek colony on the Crimean peninsula, matching the current Kherson location on this map image). If someone is updating this, please see the Wikipedia article to pick a time-appropriate name among the name variations of Chersonesus. Karland90 (talk) 08:15, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
