Quote:I don't have Simon James's volume to hand, but I think he says that Cumont's map is no longer thought to be a shield facing; apparently, it's simply a fragment of a map.

(I'm not sure why Cumont thought it was a shield facing in the first place.)

Hmm. So much for that then. Does anyone happen to have James at hand to confirm this? Any suggestions as to what sort of map it was, then... that is, do you hang it on your wall and admire it, hang it on your wall and consult it, or do you roll it up and consult it on your way around the Black Sea?
