Atlas historique de l'Antiquité tardivé
" L'Antiquité tardive est la période de l'Histoire couvrant la fin des Empires romain et sassanide, la formation des royaumes barbares en Occident, la transformation de l'Empire romain d'Orient en Empire byzantin et la première expansion musulmane. C'est la fin de l'Antiquité et le début du haut Moyen Âge. Jadis méconnue, elle fait aujourd'hui l'objet d'une attention particulière. Ce site a pour but d'offrir des repères utiles à la compréhension de la géopolitique complexe de cette époque."

The Roman Map of Britain"In 1994 the author began a study of the British section of a manuscript known as The Ravenna Cosmography. That section records place-names of Britain during the Roman occupation. It was determined that the original source map was marked with measured lines of latitude and longitude. Apparently quadrants (most often two degrees by one degree) were specially delineated, suggesting the existence of detailed sectional maps. The Cosmography's author methodically recorded the cities, quadrant by quadrant, from western Cornwall through Scotland. As a matter of course, other sources of period place-names were examined. Primary among those were the Antonine Itineraries, Ptolemy's Geography, and the Notitia Dignitatum." The Roman Map of Britain Š Thomas G. Ikins 1996,1998,1999, 200
