propnmasculinea-stema mountain or mountain range in eastern Germania, probably corresponding to part of the Giant Mountains or Sudetic systemFrom *askaz + *bergaz, literally ‘Ash Mountain’. The name is reconstructed from Ptolemy’s τὸ Ἀσκιβούργιον ὄρος , Latin Asciburgius mons, an ancient Germanic toponym whose first constituent is generally connected with Proto-Germanic *askaz. Ptolemy places the range in eastern Germania; its exact identification is uncertain, though it has traditionally been associated with the Giant Mountains or the broader Sudetic system. It is geographically distinct from the similarly named settlement Ἀσκιβούργιον / Asciburgium on the lower Rhine Scheungraber & Grünzweig 2014: 78–80.
