Ahhh should have gotten Lisbon. The Arabic script is hard to read on Sporcle, I thought the shin was a seated hamza. Al-i-buwna didn't make any sense. Good quiz.

It's Aquincum, not Acquincum, and it's not a former name of Budapest. It was a Roman settlement which happened to be in the same place almost a millenium before Buda was even founded.
