Chersonesus

Ancient city in today's Sevastopol, Crimea

  • Also called Kherson, Korsun, Heracleotic Chersonesus

Overview

From Wikipedia, quoted unmodified under CC BY-SA 4.0; the article’s history is its list of authors.

Figures

Associated figures

Gods and people named with this place — as its founders, or in their own records.

What this means

Founders are named by this place's own record, and a founding is an attribution, often contested. The rest are read from the other end, computed from their records rather than this one. Being named with a place is not being documented there in any given year.

  • DevaLocated here

    goddess worshipped in ancient Crimea by Taurians assimilated by acient Greeks to Artemis Tauria and Artemis Tauropolos

Site history & evidence

What is documented here

Each kind of evidence on its own row, because they do not add up.

Evidence On record What it shows
Site date None recorded The import holds no date for the site itself.
Location Recorded to the site On the atlas A coordinate for the place. It locates the site; it does not draw its extent.
Dated activity None recorded A pin is a place, not an event. What happened at Chersonesus, and when, is a separate claim, and this import holds none: it carries site locations, not dated activity.

Nearby

Places nearby

The nearest this collection holds, measured between recorded coordinates.

What this means

Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.

Connections

How Chersonesus connects

Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.

Place 1

What this means

Where something is, or is documented. A location is not by itself evidence of activity.

Does not imply that anything is documented to have happened there

Recorded events and days 1

What this means

Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began.

Does not imply that these are all the events in its history · that Wikidata ranks the events by importance
