Abstract: This is a package of data derived from the Pleiades gazetteer of ancient places. It is used for archival and redistribution purposes and is likely to be less up-to-date than the live data at https://pleiades.stoa.org. We encourage use and citation of these numbered releases for scholarly work that will be published in static form.

About Pleiades Pleiades is a community-built gazetteer and graph of ancient places.
