Ancient Maps

Maps and Geography of the Ancient World

• Most of the "known world" follows a band north, south, and east of the Mediterranean Sea.
• Ancient maps of Rome (or the Roman Empire) include much of what we think of as Europe, parts of Asia, and Northern Africa.
• The geographic borders of Asia fluctuated with the dominant empires; Sudan and Egypt belong in both the Near East and Africa.

I've also provided a very handy alphabetical list of ancient places based on the Roman historian Tacitus: Geographical Index of Tacitus.

If I'm missing something or if you have a correction, please let me know.
