Book: The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Rome

That professor sounds awful. Learning lots of facts is high school history. And the 'exact' areas of British tribes are a matter of conjecture.

While someone had noted that there is a medieval atlas from this same series, there is also a very well made book called the Atlas of Medieval Europe:

 

Sounds like a cool book, have to pick up a copy! Most of my reading these days is the ancient sources, Polybius, Livy, Cassius Dio, Ammianus, Herodian, and the like. Luckily you can find them all online for free with the complete texts.

 

Late reply but I just got this in the post after ordering on your recommendation, and devoured it. It really is excellent. Picture books are a great way to learn, and we should all read more of them. They're under-rated because some people think they're not smart. But there's more in this than a lot of more academic books. Thanks for the tip!

 

I just received it in the mail also. A tad bit "small", yet a great source of simple organzied information.

 

Just got mine this week as well. Nice book!

 

Still waiting for mine to arrive.

 

Amazon can be weird sometimes with books. My copy of Hartill for my Chinese coin references has had it's delivery pushed back to 3 weeks from now, when I am probably going to be out of country, even though I ordered it 2 weeks ago

 

I received both the Greek and Roman versions. Learning a lot.

 

I understand it now.
there are 2 book series, one called
"The penguin historical atlas of ancient greece" or "rome" (2 books)
the other is called "the new penguin atlas of ancient history" or "medieval history" (2 books)

In total I purchased 4 books. Very thrilled.
sorry, this is probably a dead thread but wanted to bring it up for any future interest to anyone.

 

Its not that dead yet. People were still posting yesterday. I think the viewing is this Saturday and the funeral will be Monday evening.
