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
