	The Montes Haemus (Haemus Mountains)
		The Montes Haemus (Haemus Mountains) at the southwestern highland edge of the Mare Serenitatis Basin.
		The large crater at the bottom right is Sulpicius Gallus, named after a Roman astronomer, and is 7.5 miles (12km) in diameter.
		Several rilles are present along the Mare Serenitatis floor, and lie parallel to the mountains.

		The boundaries of this were - towards the N. the Haemus, on the E. the Euxine Sea, on the S. the Propontis, the Hellespont and the Aegean, and towards the W. the Nestus.
		One district in the extreme north-west of Thrace lay beyond the watershed separating the streams that flow into the Aegean from those that reach the Danube: this was the territory of Sardica, the modern Sophia.
		One of these skirted the southern coast, being a continuation of the Via Egnatia, which ran from Dyrrhachium to Thessalonica, thus connecting the Adriatic and the Aegean; it became of the first importance after the foundation of Constantinople, because it was the direct line of communication between that city and Rome.

		In addition to the central mountain range, there are some large rings, craters, hillocks, &c., on the floor; and on the inner slope of the W. border there is a very large circular enclosure resembling a ring-plain, not recorded in the maps.
		There is a small but distinct central mountain, south of which stands a number of smaller hills, forming with the first a circular arrangement, suggestive of the idea that they represent the relics of a large central crater.
		A small ring-plain with a central mountain is connected with the S.W. wall; and, running in a N. direction from this, is a short mountain arm which joins a large circular enclosure with a low broken border standing on the N. side of the Mare Tranquilitatis.

	Montes Haemus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Montes Haemus is a curving range of mountains that form the southwestern edge of the Mare Serenitatis basin on the Moon.
		This range was named by Johannes Hevelius after the old Greek name for the Balkan mountains.
		Where the mountain range curves up to the northwest, the cup-shaped Sulpicius Gallus crater lies nearby on the lunar mare.

	The Geto-Dacians
		Burebista's country, rooted in the former social and political tradition, was strengthened by the king's conquest of Greek cities, like Tomis, Histria and Callatis on the Black Sea shore, and by eliminating the threat of Celtic invasion.
		The unifying centre of the Geto-Dacian state lay in the Orastie mountain zone (Sureanu) - a natural Transylvanian stronghold; there, Burebista developed a whole system of fortifications, which was to be continued by his followers Dicomes, Scoryllo, Cotiso.
		His successful unifying endeavour, which led to the unity of the Geto-Dacian people, language and civilisation, made the king feel stronger, a fact which led him into believing that he was capable of measuring his military strength with that of the Romans.

		Materials in the Haemus Mountains were mapped as regional assemblages of Fra Mauro Formation, crater ejecta, and dark Serenitatis-like mare materials.
		The largest contrasts are between the Haemus mountains ([[Rfraktur]]4 = 0.95 to 0.99) and the background Serenitatis and Tranquillitatis mare units ([[Rfraktur]]4 = 1.00 to 1.02), and between the larger craters (Menelaus, Plinius, and Dawes) and their surroundings.
		It is possible that small mare patches in the Haemus mountains are influencing the spectral behavior enough at our spatial resolution to be detected in the model, but this does not dominate the effect observed here.

		To the North are the Carpathians, closing in the breadth of the valley of the Danube, which, as I have said extends eastward, a length of about 1000 miles, and is sometimes 200 and in some places 300 miles wide; and in the midst flows the Danube, the principal river of Europe as to size.
		And near Bithynia the waters of this Black Sea poured into the Propontis [Marmora] falling into the Aegean Sea, that is the Mediterranean, where, after a long course, the spurs of the Adula mountains became separated from those of the Taurus.

	Chapter The Extend Of The Empire In The Age Of The Antoninies. of History of The Decline And Fall of The Roman Empire ...
		In the time of the Antonines, the martial regions of Thrace, from the mountains of Hæmus and Rhodope, to the Bosphorus and the Hellespont, had assumed the form of a province.
		On the opposite side, the province of Cilicia was terminated by the mountains of Syria: the inland country, separated from the Roman Asia by the River Halys, and from Armenia by the Euphrates, had once formed the independent kingdom of Cappadocia.
		In this place we may observe, that the northern shores of the Euxine, beyond Trebizond in Asia, and beyond the Danube in Europe, acknowledged the sovereignty of the emperors, and received at their hands either tributary princes or Roman garrisons.

		Most noticeable is the boundary between the rugged highlands (Montes Haemus) and the smooth volcanic plains of Mare Serenitatis.
		The Montes Haemus (or Haemus Mountains) are part of the prominent 740-kilometer-wide main ring of the Serenitatis Basin, which formed 3.89 billion years ago when an asteroid 50–100 kilometers across slammed into the Moon.
		These mountains are 2–3 kilometers high, but were probably 5 kilometers high before the basin was flooded a few hundred million years later by basaltic lava flows that formed the smooth plains.

		At the same time, ‘Transalpina’ must be regarded in its common meaning, as “beyond the mountains”, and not in the proper one.
		The firm association between the Wallachian population and the Haemus Mountains undoubtedly leads to the placement of the State of the Assenides in the proximity of the Balkans.
		It seems that the author’s intention is to prove that all those populations contributed to the devastating Johannitza’s campaigns towards the South of the Balkan Mountains and to suggest therefore the great disproportion of forces between them and the Crusader knights.

	THE THRACIANS WERE DACIANS
		Darius was attacked both by the Thracians from the Pangaion Mountains and by the Odomanti Thracians, who had settled down northwards, preserving thus their independence.
		The same Macedonian Thracians, loaded with prisoners and cattle after defeating the Scythians, were attacked, in their turn, as they were crossing the Haemus Mountains on their way back home, by the Tribal Thracians who robbed them of their spoils of war and wounded Philip II badly in the leg.
		These mountains of salt without which man's life and the raising of cattle simply cannot be imagined represented in those ancient times a bigger wealth than gold; and indeed maybe it was the most valuable wealth to own for the ancient people.

		The Triballians lived south of the Danube river in the modern province of Pleven, in mountainous terrain.
		One of the first encounters could have been decisive: as Alexander's men marched through a defile at the foot of the mountains, they realized that the Treballi had seized the high ground and had manouvered heavy carts onto the heights, which could be used as weapons against the Macedonians and Greeks far below.
		Crossing the ridge, Alexander then proceed across the Haemus mountains towards the Danube river, where he found that Syrmus, King of the Triballians, had sheltered his stores and noncombatants (and later, himself) on an island in the middle of the river.

		Hence, it was the energy released by the coalescence of the ring particles that generated the heat required to melt the Moon and form the magma ocean from which the anorthosite crust evolved.
		These ridges are circular mountains that formed when the force of a massive impact sent out shock waves that lifted and tilted the anorthosite crust at the edges of a huge hole, 12 km deep, that formed when the material in the centre of the Basin was hurled out by the impact.
		Imbrium is surrounded by the Carpathian, Apennine, Caucasus, Alps and Jura mountains that form a nearly continuous arc of highlands, interpreted as the outer-most ridge that resulted from the impact that created Imbrium as an Impact Basin in the first place.

		Now the chieftains of the Scythians were minded to put the prisoners they held to death, but the majority of the people absolutely refused to allow this, as they wished to sell them for a price.
