Montes antiqui

From Wikinfo

Montes antiqui Romanis cogniti: Aevo Antiquo montes complures Europae australis plerumque sub nominibus classicis Graeco-Latinis cogniti fuerant, etiam in Asia occidentali atque in Africa septentrionali montium nomina antiqua ex partem cognita erant. At contra, montes Americae, Australiae, Africae australis et Asiae orientalis in tempore classico Imperii Romani adusque saeculum VII plerumque incogniti fuerant et ideo horum nomina antiqua absunt. In enumeratione alphabetica sequente, solum montes cogniti nominibus antiquis Graeco-Latinis citati sunt, sed caeteri in Aevo Antiquo incogniti omissi sunt. Sub Imperio Romano in Europa meridionali e.g. in Italia, Graecia, Hispania, Illyricum montes permulti etiam minores nomina antiqua habebant. Ideo in enumeratione sequenti montes altissimi vel catenae elongatae solum citati sunt. Citationis ordo: nomen antiquum primum est, postea nomen hodiernum atque ultima appellatio Neolatina recens adest. Abbreviationes frequentes: h. = hodie, M. = Mons, A. = Alpes.

ABSTRACT

Mountains known to ancient Romans: In Ancient Age numerous mountains of southern Europe were known under the classical Greek and Latin names, and in western Asia and northern Africa some major mountains were also named. On the other hand, mountains of America, Australia, eastern Asia, and southern Africa in the ancient times of Roman Empire prior to 7th century were mostly unknown, and so their ancient Latin names are lacking, and they are omitted in the next list. During Roman Empire also many minor mounts in Italy, Spain, and Balkans were named, but in actual list only the highest mountains and elongated ranges from southern Europe are quoted here. Quoting order: the original ancient oronym is the first one, then follows its modern name, and third one is the newer latinized name if different from both ones.
