    Default Research Question

    Hello everyone,
    I've gotta say that I am simply amazed by the work you have all put into EB1 and now EB2 and was wondering if there was a map you had referenced when creating the strategic map? The reason I am asking is because I am writing a paper on Roman foreign policy upon the Danube and Rhine, but cannot find a decent map with suitable geographical detail (mainly the Rhine, Danube, Elbe, and Weser Rivers - though the last two are not that important) AND a representation of the Roman provinces. I am looking for a map that includes Dacia as a province so the map would need to be representing a period after 106/107 ad, but would also be interested if anyone has a map showing Rome's boundaries after the death of Julius Caesar.
    Thank you for any help you can offer.

    edit:
    I have been considering using this map (link attached below) for my project, but I feel like the boundaries of Moesia Inferior encroach too much upon Dacia, as I thought the area of Dobruja was the boundary of Moesia Inferior and that it did not extend beyond the Lower Danube? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:RomanEmpire_117.svg

    /me points to a library. There are many a fine historical atlas available for those that use libraries. Once more I have to point out that there is so much more knowledge available in books than what can be found online. It is soooo easy to google, but also sooooo hard to find proper information and sooooo unsatisfying.

    Personally I have a small and inexpensive version of Pützers Historischer Weltatlas. That is what I could afford, but you should be able to find even better ones in your library.
