Abnoba mons

The Latin name Abnoba Mons (Pre-Germanic Abnoba, Ancient Greek ὰ Ἄ, ta Abnoba, Ἀῖ ὄ Abnobaia orē) is the name of a mountain range that was already known to ancient authors Pliny and Tacitus. The name has been traditionally, primarily associated in historical research with the Black Forest. Ptolemy used the toponym in his A.D. 150 publication, Geographia, as a mountain range lying within Germania magna (ὄ) with its southern extent at 31° 49' and its northern extremity at 31° 52'. The geographer clearly did not restrict this name to present day Black Forest, but to an entire mountain chain.

Location: Germany.
