Turda is well placed there with a latitude and a longitude accurate
enough :). Even the Salinae (near Turda) are well placed by Ptolemeus
very very close to Patruissa: currently the Salinae (Roman mines) is
today a district inside Turda placed on the hills nearby.
Patruissa 49*00 47°20
Salinae 49*15 47°10
