Omnia Italia in tres partes divisa est.
Looks like instead of “Down East” they followed the convention “Down West”. (Maine was “Down East” because early 19th Navigational charts displayed West Up.)

I actually own a facsimile of this Roman Map porn — a foldout in the 60s book, “The Roads that Led to Rome”, by Von Hagen. It has inspired me to spend some retirement time looking at those roads all around the Med, starting next year.

Interesting. That you remind me of Roy Moxham, who wrote the book The Great Hedge of India.
Basically, historians and scholars forgot about the Great Hedge that was built across, yes across INDIA. Around, 1800 miles of Hedges. Anyway, from a small caption that he read in a book, he decided to look for it. Anway, he found it. Interesting, read. Ya might find it in your library.

Did you notice the named island west of Ireland? What did the Romans know?
To: Eternal_Bear
Did you notice the named island west of Ireland? What did the Romans know? Interesting. It's hard to read that font. Does it say "Thyle"? Maybe like a variation of Thule, Greenland? I doubt if it's America. But damn, Greenland is getting real close. It's just an island-hopping canoe ride or two away from there to here.

it must be good to know where the next bath house was, on those long trips away from the wife.

My son is studying Rome in school. The teacher bought 31 Roman coins from a collector in England or somewhere. They still have the dirt on them and they are cleaning them off in class and then doing research on the various Emperor’s that they find on their coin (if visible). Then they get to keep the coin. Now I’m off to google to see if these types of coins are in the range of affordability of a middle school - or if the “collector” is just making reproductions in Taiwan!

Well! Ebay shows old Roman coins with LOTS of dirt, etc. on them (called “crusties”!) with a bid now at $9.00 for ten coins. Pretty cool!
