Mapa ciudades romanas y griegas

 Data Estel·lar mapeada Divendres 20210423

Un día encontré unos mapas interesantes. Los descargué. Lo hice durante un tiempo. Me di cuenta del juego que permitía gente apasionada por la cartografía, la geografía y la historia y las nuevas herramientas informáticas, que ya se podían conocer en las facultades de geografía en 1998 cuando yo pensaba: "pobre gente, tanto esfuerzo para que nadie los contrate".

El caso es que solamente había un mapa que quería. No lo he encontrado: el mapa con todas las localidades grandes, pequeñas o medianas romanas con su nombre en latín.

La estupenda web Vivid Maps tiene la entrada: Roman Empire cities mapped

 Ya habían hecho un buen trabajo con calzadas romanas. Nótese la semejanza entre el trazado romano de los siglos I-V y el español de los siglos XX-XXI. Lo que hacen es unir diferentes mapas ya existentes uno tras otro... lo que facilita la faena a los curiosos.

Así, aprovechan al usuario de Reddit llamado ImUsingDaForce:  made an incredibly detailed map of every Roman settlement that ever existed, with borders from 117AD.  

 

Atentos a este mapa: 

 

 

Y luego ponen una lista de ciudades grandes, lástima que con los nombres en esas cosas que habla la juventud, que ni es latín ni nada. Ejemplo: pone Tarragona en vez de Tarraco.

Hombre, mejor si hubieran puesto las ciudades de la Hélade también. 

 

Ponen una lista: aquí sí con el nombre heleno aunque en esos garabatos que ni son ¡ya no digo Lineal B! sino que ni es alfabeto griego ni nada.
