Talk:Seleucia

message: Moved here from an amalgam of short notes, what is now the disambiguation page at Seleucia.  Added some information from the (local to me) U-M Kelsey Museum.  Much more needs to be done.

*Weak Oppose neutral - this page used to be at Seleucia, before that became a disambig.  Sure it's the "best known" Seleucia, as such things go, but that isn't saying much since none of them are that well known to the layman, not quite the name-recognition of Alexandria or Antioch.  'Seleucia' has too many different meanings / locations all named for Seleucus, sometimes it is even used for the larger Empire, etc. so I'm happy to see it continue as a disambig. ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 03:32, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Granted, not the same name-recognition in absolute terms.  Comparatively speaking, though, do you not agree that this is the Seleucia, the one which a person is likely to know, if they know one; consider the important one, if they know more than one; perhaps most importantly, be looking for on Wikipedia, if they are looking for information on one?  The disambiguation page, of course, will carry on regardless, so no worries on that score. -- Lonewolf BC 04:15, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

text: As a matter of fact, there was a Patriarch (Katholikos) of Seleucia-Ctesiphon in the Assyrian Church of the East (qv)... But that's really "neither here nor there" on this question...! ፈቃደ (ውይይት) 02:58, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: comment:Your comment on the Assyrian Patriarch actually weights even more to restore Seleucia, on matter of avoiding ethnocentric bias. --Sugaar 03:25, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Where was Seleucia (direction, distance) in relation to other more well-known ancient and modern places (e.g., Babylon, Baghdad, Basra, [Batcave,] ...).  (A map showing these would be even better.)  This additional info would be helpful for this slightly-confused lay reader.  Acwilson9 (talk) 01:56, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Coordinate error 

message: is a Latinate name given by the EB11 article "Seleucia" to Birejik. Birecik's own article here says that was based on a mistaken placement of Apamea and thus confusion with its suburb Seleucia or port Seleucia. So far so good.
Problem is... well, was there a Latin place named Seleucia in Mesopotamia? We don't have an article on it or a redirect to one.
Was it simply another name for this location, which is in the region of Mesopotamia? or was it a fourth city named Seleucia located in the Roman province Mesopotamia? — LlywelynII 23:37, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
