<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 24628223, member: 26430&quot;]I had some trouble with your URL, but there&#039;s good information in it. Let&#039;s see if these work:</p><p><a href="http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/searchresults?q=blaundus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/searchresults?q=blaundus" rel="nofollow">http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/searchresults?q=blaundus</a></p><p>or</p><p><a href="http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0064:entry=blaundus-geo&amp;highlight=blaundus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0064:entry=blaundus-geo&amp;highlight=blaundus" rel="nofollow">http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.04.0064:entry=blaundus-geo&amp;highlight=blaundus</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Interesting that Perseus / <i>Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography</i> give Blaundus as Phrygia rather than Lydia. I&#039;m sure that&#039;s the city. But the boundaries between neighboring Lydia &amp; Phrygia may have varied with Roman administration.</p><p><br /></p><p>(<b>Edit</b>: Looking it up, I see that my <i>Bildatlas der Klasshichen Welt</i> gives it as Lydia. And <i>Barrington</i> as Phrygia!)</p><p><br /></p><p>Also interesting that a lot of the information available about Blaundus at that time (late 19th cent?) was from coins and their finds. (I.e., in addition to a small number of tomb inscriptions, etc.)</p><p><br /></p><p>A century on, Wiki doesn&#039;t have much to add: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaundus" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaundus" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaundus</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
