ancient-rome-au:“Paper towns” of the Roman Empire. The caption of each image has a link to its source, which is the subreddit /r/papertowns. They are constantly sharing more awesome illustrated maps of cities, and not just Roman ones.I love how these paper towns really give you a flavor for ancient urban life. I can imagine myself walking through the streets, attending plays at the amphitheater, congregating the forum to hear a speech, or boarding a ship in the harbor and sailing off to the next city. Also, these should be great references for whenever I find the time to run a Greco-Roman D&D campaign.For quick reference, the cities here are (in order):Constantinople (duh)Vindobala (fort on Hadrian’s Wall)Pompeii (RIP)Tarraco (modern Tarragona)Tergeste (modern Trieste)Augusta Raurica (modern Basel)Aquae Sulis (modern Bath)Segedunum (fort on Hadrian’s Wall)Barcino (modern Barcelona)Lutetia (modern Paris) -- source link
