Dusepro Solympum

Düzde · Duztsche · Düzce

Dusepro Solympum is a tangle of letters. It was once read as Dusae near Olympus, but it most likely hides Prusias pros Hypion, Prusias on the river Hypius; the Ravenna list has Druso prosipeo. The station lay at today's Düzce and belonged to the city of Prusias ad Hypium, the old Kieros, just to the south at Konuralp, which took the name Prusias in 190 BC. Beyond it the map draws the city of Claudiopolis without writing its name.
