This is one of my favorite categories of articles: a significant expansion of our understanding of the past. History is so exciting and it's a horrible shame that the experience of high school history classes teaches students the opposite. I wish more HS teachers knew how to make the subject engaging.On this in particular, someone linked to a map of the roads of the Roman Empire created in the style of modern transportation maps (think subways) a few years ago. I paid five bucks (I think, might have been more) for a high quality version of the file suitable for printing. I have a giant print of it framed on the wall. It's one of my favorite things because it's such a clever crossover of historical timelines.
The person I paid for it (blog owner) was surprised that I found it. They thought that they had removed it from their blog and asked me how I got to it so it could be removed. I didn't check to confirm, just letting you know you likely can't get the file anymore and I didn't create it so I won't share it. Sorry for teasing it when you can't get your own. It's pretty great.
Edit: spelling / tense
