Turris lapidea

Turris lapidea[1] sive iuxta nomen Graecum Lithinos pyrgos[2] fuit oppidum ad viam Sericariam stans. Explorator antiquus Titianus Maës usque ad Turrim lapideam pervenisse hominesque suos ultra in Sinas misisse censetur. Locus Turris lapideae nescitur. Quidam oppidis Taxkorgan aut Daraut-korgan adsimilant sed alii aliter. Albirunius per errorem cum urbe Tashkent identificavit.

  1. Graece Λίθινος πύργος: Ptolemaeus, Geographia 1.12.7-9, 6.11-13 et alibi. Inde Latine "Turris lapidea" in versionibus Ptolemaei
  2. Ammianus Marcellinus, Res gestae 23.6.60
