Chersonesus must be Greek in its origin, not Latin. Nesos means island in Greek, Chersonesos means Peninsula, in Greek. While Peninsula is called Peninsula in Latin. In ancient times the Greek colonists called both the Kallipoli (Gallipoli) penminsula and the Crimean Peninsula Chersonessos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chersonesus_(disambiguation) --Foto (talk) 07:37, 24 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
