Comment on Show HN: I am building a map of people who lived in the Roman Empire

Comments

The map is woefully inaccurate, because it depicts present-day topology.

See e.g. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/ce/Peace_of...

The map tiles themselves come from the Digital Atlas of the Roman Empire. Which you can find here.

That's wrong, too. Seeing reclaimed land in there is a clear sign.
