Neapolis


(I didn't want to repeat Nablus, which I already used in this thread 17 years ago, but actually it's the same name, meaning "new town" in greek. There are several places named Neapolis, and several ather places that used to have this greek name that transformed over the ages, such as Naples in Italy, and there are lots of places around the world named "new town" in different languages, e.g. Carthage in the punic language).
