[QUOTE="Parduz, post: 4720385, member: 82884"] Well, as i live in one of the oldest settlement in italy (Bologna, my town, was an etrurian site well before the Romans), i can give you some hint about "how to map an ancient town" :) I was not able to find big and coloured ancient "pictures" of my town (but i saw some of them some time ago), but these ancient plans of the town can be useful: [IMG]http://www.studiomantelli.it/images/bolognaAntica.jpg[/IMG] This is a picture of the town: Bologna is in splitted by one of the most important roman routes, the Via Emilia. So a lot of towers were raised, to watch further in the big plain. The towers still are a unique feature of Bologna. [IMG]http://www.storiaefuturo.com/images/articoli/36_1_zoom.jpg[/IMG] This picture shows how the town is build around the central plaza, where is located the "main" church. A bit on the left there's the "Two Towers" which are still there today. The roads were designed by romans around the camp they built on the old etrurian site, and the town still have this "face". Finally, a link to a site with ancient maps of the most important italian towns. [URL="http://www.capurromrc.it/itinerario/MAPPE.htm"]MAPPE ANTICHE[/URL] Hope that helps a bit you all cartographer :) (as always, pls forget my bad english) [/QUOTE]
