Leontopolis, was an Ancient Egyptian city, known today as the archaeological site and settlement called Tell el-Muqdam.
==Name==
Known most popularly in the modern era and to scholarship by its traditional Greek name "Leontopolis" 〔Ptol. iv. 5. § 51, Strabo xvii. pp. 802, 812〕 (literally, "city of lions"), or Leonto , ("lion"),〔Hieronym. ''ad Jovian.'' ii. 6〕 the demographic makeup of the city varied culturally and linguistically over its long history, and the Greek name was progressively used more and more over the native Egyptian Taremu ("Land of Fish").〔GDG VI, 26; LÄ VI, 351〕 After the annexation of Ptolemaic Egypt as a Roman province, the city retained the Greek name, and was referred to in Latin sources as the oppidum Leontos,〔Plin. v. 20. s. 17〕 though the Egyptian name still lingered among primary speakers of Coptic Egyptian into the post-classical period. Today, the site itself is referred to in Arabic as Tell el-Muqdam ("mound of the city").
