KNOWN ERRORS in MAP OF THE ROMAN WORLD
#1
Here is the list of known errors in the map; I will re-edit this page when possible and necessary.

Please note that errors are inevitable: the world's topography is too complex for the computer system. Jasper and I do our best to check.

Please add what you think is wrong (coordinates, description, better links), but do not add items that you have added and have not yet appeared. Jasper needs to validate every single item, which just takes some time. (And -hey!- this guy is writing a thesis, he has other important things to do.)

Blue means that the marker must change.

OK, Sorry, I hadn't found this topic :oops:
Now that I see that the blunder about Iuliobriga is recorded, I must 'return' to Dura and the review on 'Siege Warfare in the Roman World'... :roll:

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.

Was it fought at the actual modern city of Lerida or just 'nearby'? (Too ancient for this grumpy late Roman :wink: )

Nope. That means that one of the latest additions slipped through with bad html in them.

And fixed. Apparently the & sign causes trouble in the datafile.
