"Things You Wouldn't Know If We Didn't Blog Intermittently."
Love it!
Nice! Since the original is drawn with the east at the top, I found it easier to figure what is what in the rotated version:http://i.imgur.com/lhKqXBD.jpg?1
The colors and fonts looked much too modern to me, and some internet sleuthing confirmed it. While Pomponius Mela did make a written description in 43 AD, the map is a much more modern representation, by Dr. Konrad Miller in 1898.
Thanks Colin.
