Agkistro

(

)

... that the main tourist attraction in Agkistro, northern Greece, its steam bath complex, dates from the 10th century Byzantine period?

Interesting article and place; about the hook - is it correct? The supporting ref suggests Fort Roupel is the main sight in the wider area (and there's a bit of a question mark over the RS-ness of some of the sources, weighted towards promotional tourist literature). And, re Fort Roupel - is it a National Monument or a Monument of Nationalism? I've been trying to track down the equivalent of National Monuments of Greece and so far failed; does this monument feature on a heritage register? Is there one? If so, could you please point me to it in either English or Greek, thanks, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 15:56, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Also, re the mines and Alexander the Great, are there independent sources for this - smacks a little of the Alexander the Great Airport naming controversy: the ancient mineral resources are discussed in Hammond and Griffith I 12f. and II 70ff. They apparently were (1) Between the lower Axius and the Strymon (2) East of the Lower Strymon (3) In the inland areas of former Yugoslavia; re (2) this seems to have been further south, around Mount Pangaeum and nearer Amphipolis as mentioned in Cetriporis; do we know the ancient toponym, as I couldn't find anything immediately related in the Pauly-Wissowa scans on the German Wikisource, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 18:59, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Hook is precisely supported by ref. #3 (it's in German). Fort Rupel changed to War Museum (+administrated by the Army General Staff). About the ancient mines it appears that there is a controversy with archaeological bibliography, for example Dysoron seems to be found some 10 kms west but it's not on the same spot. I've rephrased the specific part with the necessary references.Alexikoua (talk) 20:50, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

Thanks! Two sources for "most important site" conflict - "hammam" vs fort - but perhaps it's a minor point; have reworded some sections a little; length, date, hook ok; good to go, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 09:49, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
