Cities on a Medieval Map of the World
The Hereford Mappa Mundi is an intricately decorated map of the world produced in England sometime around the year 1300. Alongside natural features, fantastical beasts, and biblical scenes, are depicted over three hundred cities and towns. Using the simplified version of the map below, how many of these settlements can you name?
Gold borders indicate ancient cities that no longer exist as well as legendary or biblical cities. Many of the non-European cities fall into these categories.
I have excluded cities whose identities remain uncertain.

My main source for this quiz was the fantastic Virtual Mappa project.

Herakleion is still a city to this day, therefore not abandoned

This one is abandoned actually - it’s referring to the Heracleium or Herakleion in Macedonia, which no longer exists, not the Heraklion on Crete. It’s confusing.
