Verderer 26 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Looks nice, good find...for my mythic Rome campaign I managed to find a nice map of the city of Rome itself: http://www.aclclassics.org/store/poster-roma-archaica.html Basically, it's the city during end of monarchy / early republic... ordered it from the American Classical League after giving up finding it in Italy (by Google), so it's coming the long way around.

Pete Nash 53 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 It is extremely difficult to find city maps of Republican Rome. The best one I possess is from a specialised archaeological journal covering the Augustan period (so after the Republic has fallen), and whilst the detail of the map itself is still sparse, the 275 page catalogue of entries which accompanies it contained some fascinating details. However, its pretty dry and dense for those not grounded in academic publications. For those who are interested and can afford such things, it is Supplement 50 available from the Journal of Roman Archaeology.

Verderer 26 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 (edited) Another interesting and possibly useful resource is the digital Augustan map of Rome: http://digitalaugustanrome.org/map/#/rome/filter:0/ Edited December 6, 2016 by Verderer 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Nash 53 Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Looks like they digitised the information of the physical copy I have and placed it online for free! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colinabrett 186 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I don't know if this has been mentioned upthread but it looks brilliant: Digital Map of the Roman Empire . You can zoom in/out and pan the map in all directions. Colin 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Runeblogger 700 Posted December 9, 2016 Report Share Posted December 9, 2016 There's also this other map, perfect for calculating long routes across the Empire: http://orbis.stanford.edu/ 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Verderer 26 Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 This is proving to be a very useful thread... I received the map of Rome. It seems to be actually a poster printout from photo of a scale model on display at ' Museo della Civiltà Romana' - seen in this picture: And it's better for giving a general visual impression of the city layout circa 500 bc. rather than as an accurate map as it's in perspective. Nevertheless, pretty nice as it is. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
