Arsa: place on the map
The geography of the well-known trading way remains, probably, less investigated, than a history of a way "from vikings to arabs" as a whole. Following instructions of medieval authors, researchers restore on particles geography of this trading way in VII-IX Centuries, its routes and an arrangement of stations on all its extent, borders of territories of the East-Slavic and the Finno-Ugric breeding unions along a trading way, involving more than data from auxiliary disciplines. However, the given area of researches still rather long time will put researchers in position of the medieval traveller who has gone on searches of the country or people, which at all on hearing but which site is known to nobody. One of the significant moments in the field of geography of a trading way recognizes one of the oldest stories of the Arabian authors about three centers of Russians - Slava, Cuiaba and Arsa. This article is about Arsa, the third center of Russian. Thus, in view of informations of written sources and the archeological facts, existing hypotheses about localization of Arsa are considered and the hypothesis about localization of Arsa in Prikamye is argumented.
