 Damn there's a few more like this from the same person https://sashamaps.net/docs/maps/roman-roads-index/  @spacekookie dear friend, remember as Brian's friends said, "What have the Romans ever done for us?"  @spacekookie ah, glad to see that these contain the sea-routes it's called Mediterranean for a reason :P  @spacekookie Thank you, I will send this to my sister, who studied Latin/Archaeology/Linguistics and also loves the Tube! Perfect.    @spacekookie @thomasfuchs going to add a small village resisting the Roman invaders in my printout. @Migueldeicaza @spacekookie @thomasfuchs I freaking love that series of books! As a kid I got scolded by other kids because I was laughing out loud in the library.  @rsalz seems like there's prints available on the designers website: https://sashamaps.net/docs/maps/roman-roads-original/ (also more info about the map design)  @Chimneyswift what are you talking about?? Every part of the network is connected to Rome in some way    @spacekookie just finishing a unit on maps with my students. Gonna share this Monday. Many thanks!  Roman Empire Maritime Services Guild is requesting a word with the artist. Something about "offensive", "gross tonnage" and "chained to the bench"? @bewitchedmind @spacekookie Not true. We have plenty of railways. It’s just that the trains running on them don’t follow any schedule 😉  @bewitchedmind @spacekookie Britain has better coverage on this map than a modern map of high speed rail... @duckwhistle Still, I visited the UK last summer and was astonished that the trains ran on schedule. @spacekookie  @spacekookie I would like to lodge a complaint about the delay in completion of the Tanais extension. Rescuporides has been promising a through route to Constantinople his entire reign, as did his father Sauromates, and on and on—we’ve been Roman client state for 280 years already! For all we know we’ll be conquered by Goths before we can get a cart of wheat to the Bosphorous by road.  @spacekookie Confusingly all routes do not lead to Rome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milliarium_Aureum?wprov=sfti1 @spacekookie this is giving me SO MANY ideas!! @spacekookie you might enjoy this video about the London Tube map https://youtu.be/cTLCfl01zuE?si=-xG5XN7COy6W0X-s @spacekookie This map is terrible, several cities are absolutely not at the right place on the map /facepalm.  @Tr4bend0 @spacekookie That's how transit maps work in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit_map  @sinabhfuil https://sashamaps.net/docs/maps/roman-roads-original/ here's the original on the person's website. They made a bunch of other maps too :3 @spacekookie Das Netz war geil, aber hast du mal versucht beim zuständigen Präfekten Fahrgastrechte geltend zu machen wenn du mal wieder 60 oder mehr Stunden zu spät angekommen bist? @spacekookie It is a very interesting map, thank you for posting it. But why do you have „Free Palestine“ in your account name? What do you mean by this?   @spacekookie It tickles my brain so much. Now I want to know the travelers' facilities, transits and timetables. I am planning a trip, and want to know if there are constantly enough mules available.  @spacekookie This is excellent! I love that several of the roads are marked for future extensions. 😅 @spacekookie @wtrmt I'm bothered by the imprecision. Via Flaminia for example, gets to the Adriatic at Fanum Fortunem, then it continues to Ariminium following Via Adriatica. |
@spacekookie oh this is well done
