Roman roads of Gaul 10 May 2019 -- Buy high-res file -- Notes: This was an interesting map to make, but I can’t say it was fun all the time. Generally I enjoyed the process, but it was far more challenging than I had anticipated. I go over some of the challenges in my first Gaul live stream on YouTube. I’m also preoccupied right now with finding a job, which is why I had to stop working on this for a while. ...

Roman Roads of Iberia 27 May 2018 -- Buy high-res file -- Notes: This map was a blast to make. I chose to follow the Antonine Itinerary more strictly, which meant that I had to deal with many parallel lines.

Roman roads of Britain 23 July 2017 -- Buy high-res file -- Notes: Here it is, by popular request. This was far more complicated than I had initially anticipated. Not only were there way more Roman Roads in Britain than I initially thought, but also their exact locations and extents are not very clear. In a few places I had to get rather creative with the historical evidence. ...

Roman Roads 3 June 2017 -- Buy high-res file -- It’s finally done. A subway-style diagram of the major Roman roads, based on the Empire of ca. 125 AD. Creating this required far more research than I had expected—there is not a single consistent source that was particularly good for this. Huge shoutout to: Stanford’s ORBIS model, The Pelagios Project, and the Antonine Itinerary (found a full PDF online but lost the url). ...
