Featured Book

History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (Volume 1) by Edward Gibbon is a great book for anyone who is interested in the Roman Empire.

It is quite dense, but written very clearly - definitely not an easy read but worth it!

Roman Empire Map

Today's post I'd like to share an old map of the Roman Empire when it was at its largest.  I am a massive fan of maps, and this one I think shows the extent of the roman empire in a particularly stylish way.

It is based approximately in the year AD 107 and you can find a larger resolution version here
