Talk:List of cities founded by Alexander the Great

through history were Nicephorium, Callinicum and Leontopolis. The source given for 'Alexandria in the Babylon' is also referencing a city named 'Iskandarya' in Iraq, but the only source we have for that city is a CNN article referencing a suicide bombing. We don't know why this city was named Iskandarya. While there are references to a city named 'Alexandria near Babylon' in the Alexander Romance, this city has been identified as either Alexandria near the Pallakopas (location unknown but probably close to the Euphrates near Najaf), Seleucia, Seleucia on the Hedyphone or Alexandria in Susiana. Again, using this source which is well referenced (
1247: 354: 909: 888: 190: 345: 1943:, I completely forgot about this nomination. Yes, we do know that Alexander named these cities after himself (or the accepted ones anyway). There are multiple reasons, ranging from textual (the ancient sources) to logistical (he was often the only Greek commander to visit the regions) to logical (either he named them himself, or he approved his commanders naming them after him, which in essence comes to the same thing), to sheer unlikelihood of any other possibility ( 602: 581: 1171: 1150: 1104: 1086: 1293: 1275: 408: 227: 1388: 1181: 387: 1367: 1018: 997: 1918: 919: 418: 286: 513: 492: 1567:
transliteration of Tus, was certainly a real city and was occupied by Alexander. Susia is near modern day Mashad, but we cannot simply ascribe random names to cities when there is no evidence of it. Secondly, Susia predates Alexander (it was built by the Achaemenids) and was certainly not founded by him. Ragau was a city that may have been founded by Alexander in the vicinity, but it was not called Alexandria or Alexandropolis.
814: 804: 783: 1886: 1303: 612: 1498:) points to an Alexandropolis that may have been founded in Parthia, but the existence is heavily disputed. If there was an Alexandropolis in Parthia, it was almost certainly located near Nisa, the old Parthian capital in present-day Turkmenistan. The source given for Alexandria Susia is an Arabic(?) and another which doesn't given an exact location but just lists an Alexandropolis in Parthia. 1574:) concedes that this settlement most likely never existed at all. If there was an Alexandropolis in this region, we do not know its exact location and cannot ascribe it to a specific place. I will concede that my entry of 'Alexandropolis in Parthia' also has limited evidence and should also be removed. 1889:

Pliny says there was an 'Alexandropolis' in the region of Nisaia. Not an 'Alexandria'. So calling it 'Alexandria Susia' is essentially ascribing a fictional name to a city that may or may not have existed. Your assumption that it must be Mashad is just as dubious as it being by Nisa. Susia, the Greek
1984:
Fraser states "there is no evidence to suggest that the Seleucids named settlements after Alexander." So it could have happened, but there's no evidence to suggest that, and we know that the alternative namer did like naming things after himself. But that's the crux of the issue, no? I mean, even if

This is a project I'd like to take on some day, & could be applied to more of Knowledge than just Ancient Egypt. Take one of the standard authorities of history or culture -- Herotodus, the Elder Pliny, the writings of Breasted or Kenneth Kitchen, & see if you can't smoothly merge quotations
1657:
There is also no city called Alexandria Asiana. Again, a fabricated, made-up location. Any references to this city online just reference the Knowledge article. Just because there are cities named Iskandarya or Eskandar in Iran or Iraq does not automatically mean they can be attributed to Alexander
1965:
My doubt was based on my reading of just the "accepted" items in the list, of which we can ignore Nikaia, Bucephala and Charax. This leaves four Alexandrias, two of which (Ariana and Arachosia) are not mentioned by the historians. How do we know a city's original name was Alexandria? Could it not

shows it as an Alexandria in the west of Merv. The historians I mentioned clearly say that Mashhad was founded by Alexander the Great, so under any name, there is no problem for Mashhad to be on this list. in Knowledge, our criteria is not the external truth of topics, but verifiability based on
1649:
This image is also incredibly inaccurate. There is no evidence for 'Alexandria in the Babylon' and 'Alexandria Arabika' (which I'm assuming is supposed to be Raqqa, Syria. Raqqa was never called Alexandria, or if it was there is not attestation of it in ancient geography. Raqqa's official names

the Great. Also, several named are wrong. Alexandria Susiana was never called Alexandria Charax. Charax was a later name given to the city. Alexandria 'on' Gedrosia is also wrong, it was either called Alexandria in Rhambacia or Alexandria of the Orietai.
1619:
Tabula Peutingeriana shows many cities in inaccurate locations, and we cannot verify that the Alexandria there is in the vicinity you're speaking of. If you want to put Mashad on the list, put it as Mashad, not as 'Alexandria Susia', it's a made up name.

A boring task, but the benefit of doing it is that you can set the dates !(e.g., why say Khufu lived 2589-2566? As long as you keep the length of his reign correct, or cite a respected source, you can date it 2590-2567 or 2585-2563)
1459: 269: 204: 1577:
There is no real evidence of any city founded by Alexander existing in this area, all we can really say is there *may* have been an Alexandropolis somewhere in Parthia. Pinpointing an exact location does not make sense.
1493:
Starting this discussion about Alexandria Susia. This settlement did not exist and there is no evidence it was called Alexandria Susia either. Currently, according to my source which lists several ancient geographers
1739: 1483: 294: 147: 1860:: Image optional. ALT0, ALT3 and ALT1 humorous, although the latter depends on some prior knowledge of the reader. ALT2 more factual. I'll leave it up to the discretion of the reviewer and nominator. 44: 563: 1501:
Tus was never called Alexandria, as far as we know, it was just called Susia. The only ancient city we know the name of that may have existed in the area of Masshad is Patigrabana.
2031: 2026: 1504:
In general there seems to be a lot of fictional locations on this page, with previous entries like Alexandria Asiana and Alexandria in Babylon being complete fabrications.

Third, Alexandria Troas was not founded by Alexander the Great. The city was re-named by Lysimachus in honor of Alexander several decades after his death.
