THE ROMAN EMPIRE MAPS

The maps consist of a very large master map of the Roman Empire and adjacent territories, and nine printable A4 maps without a textured background showing the areas closer up. An introduction is also included.

A companion guide detailing the locations on the maps is also available on this site, called Roman Empire Locations Guide.

These are part of a wargame campaign project entitled Rome is Burning! Which remains work in progress. However, the first two titles of this project are out now, and will be used in the game. They should also prove of interest to people interested in ancient history, and could be used as a background for a wargames campaign or roleplaying game. Biblical scholars may also find them of some use.

V2 map update note

The only change is the frontier between Numidia and Africa Nova. It has been put to us that they were one and the same territory in 65 AD, and while we are convinced the evidence argues otherwise, we do now concede the extent allocated to Numidia in the original version may have been too large, and this change reflects this change of opinion.   

Numidia has operated as a separate de facto entity since about 40 AD under a legate. Numidia is part of Africa but is administratively distinct. In 65 AD the western part of what may be termed Africa is being administered separately by a legate as Numidia, and the eastern part is being run by the proconsul as Africa Nova. Thus together they form Africa proconsularis which therefore consists of two distinct territories; Numidia in the west, and Africa Nova proconsularis in the east.

This is in accordance with Dio Cassius, and according to Tacitus this was a deliberate ploy of the Emperor, resulting in a vying for power over Africa proconsularis between the proconsul and the legate since combined the province would be rather powerful if held by one man!

Generally well-done, but with an annoying tendency to throw in the occasional word in English, for no apparent reason. Mare Germanicum is easy to comprehend, but Sequana Flumen is not? Is this supposed to be a map for Latin-speakers or for English-speakers? Consistency one way or another would be appreciated.

Certainly a valid point. To explain; you're quite right, we didn't attempt to be consistent in regard to either Latin or English usage, but used whatever term we found comprehensible to us. That admittedly is a rather subjective approach, but it's the one we took in the hope that other English-speakers will find it helpful. We fully accept this is inconsistent, but (ironically perhaps) the intention is to make it user-friendly.

Incidentally, the accompanying Locations Guide is consistent with the map names, to avoid confusion.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
