Dura‐Europos

View through CrossRef
AbstractThe Macedonian colony of Europos was founded in the early Hellenistic period on a plateau overlooking the Middle Euphrates, at a site known as Dura, meaning “fortress. ” Though both names were used simultaneously – as is clear from inscriptions and papyri, and especially from Isidorus of Charax, who refers to it as “a city of Nikanor, a foundation of the Macedonians, called Europos by the Hellenes” (Parthian Stations1) – the common appellation “Dura‐Europos” is a modern construction.
