Digital Atlas of Roman and Medieval Civilizations http://medievalmap.harvard.edu/icb/icb.do
Created at Harvard University, the Digital Atlas of Roman
and Medieval Civilization (DARMC) makes the best available materials for a
geographic information systems (GIS) approach to mapping and spatial analysis
of the Roman and medieval worlds. The DARMC draws on the cartographic
achievements of previous researchers, including the "Barrington Atlas of
the Greek and Roman World" by Richard J.A. Talbert. By using this site,
visitors can trace Roman road networks, bridges, aqueducts, the cities and
settlements of the empire, Roman military installations, and so on. Visitors
can read the introduction, and then click on over to the Maps area. Here they
can toggle data layers on and off to explore. Some of the themes here include
Cluniac Houses, British Monasteries, and Universities. Visitors can also use
the Data Sources section to delve into the particularities on each theme and
map layer. [KMG]
