KNOWN ERRORS in MAP OF THE ROMAN WORLD
#24
Augsburg is named "Augusta Vindelicorum", which results from a wrong medieval translation. A very common mistake. The city was named "Augusta Vindelicum" from ~70 AD to ~120 AD. After that it was called "Municipium Aelia Augusta" or, short, "Aelia Augusta", what I would suggest to use.
