I stumbled across a short page on Roman surveying, part of a larger site on the history of surveying:<br>
<br>
www.surveyhistory.org/rom...veying.htm<br>
<br>
It is an interesting point about Roman maps:<br>
<br>
"Large scale maps were greatly distorted in the E-W direction because the methods used for locating relative latitude and longitude were not sufficiently accurate for cartographical purposes" <p>Richard Campbell, Legio XX.
