Asciburgius Explained

The Asciburgius mons or Askibourgion oros is a mountain of greater Germany mentioned by the ancient geographer, Ptolemy, of unknown location today. Ptolemy does give us enough information to speculate where the mountain probably is,^[1] saying it was between the Elbe river and the Oder river or in other words, the Giant Mountains range.^[2]
