Calisia (Greek: Καλισία, Latin: Calisia) was a "station" on so-called "Amber Road", mentioned by Ptolemy, formerly universally identified with Kalisz in Poland. Greek (el ελληνική γλώσσα or simply el ελληνικά — "Hellenic" is an Indo-European language, spoken today by 15-22 million people mainly Latin ( lingua Latīna, laˈtiːna is an Italic language, historically spoken in Latium and Ancient Rome. The Amber Road was an ancient Trade route for the transfer of Amber. Claudius Ptolemaeus ( Greek: Klaúdios Ptolemaîos; after 83 &ndash ca Kalisz is a City in central Poland with 109800 inhabitants (1995 Poland (Polska officially the Republic of Poland Besides the similarity of the names, the identification was supported by the closeness between the latitude given by Plotemy (52°50') and the actual latitude of Kalisz (51°45'27"). Latitude, usually denoted symbolically by the Greek letter phi ( Φ) gives the location of a place on Earth (or other planetary body north or south of the
The validity of these arguments is currently in doubt, mainly due to the identification of Ptolemy's Leukaristos, located at a latitude similar to that of Kalisz, with the name Laugaritio/Leugaritio certainly referring to the town of Trencin in Slovakia (this identification is confirmed by a rock inscription made in the winter of 179/180 BCE by a Roman military unit, and the biography of the unit's commander, M. Trenčín ( also known under alternative names) is a city in western Slovakia of the central Váh River valley near the Czech Slovakia (long form Slovak Republic; Slovak:, long form, is a Landlocked country in Central Europe with a population of over five million Valesiusa Maximianus, carved on his tomb in Diana Veteranorum in today's Algeria). As Trencin is much further south than the latitude given by Ptolemy, this identification seems to imply that Ptolemy's data on latitude of places north of the Danube had large errors, hence making the Calisia and Kalisz identification doubtful. As a result, the existence of Amber Road itself is doubtful.
