Tropaia Drousou
Tropaea Drusi (Τρόπαια Δρούσου) is a place name that is mentioned in the Atlas Geographia compiled by Ptolemy around the year 150 .
So far the place could not be located. An interdisciplinary research team led by Andreas Kleineberg, who re-examined and interpreted Ptolemy's statements, believes that Tropaea Drusi can locate it in the area of today's Halberstadt in Saxony-Anhalt.
