Maybe this will help the team map out Germania. Researchers Crack the Ptolemy Code. There is supposed to be a book documenting it too.

very cool indeed tho I'd preffer a more elaborate presentation to increace the work value, but well that wouldn't be read by anyone outside this forum^^.

does this increace the chance of fritzlar beeing the "captial" of the Chatti lands? I know some chaps that'd be happy to know their place is in EB :DD

I "fourth" this, though the title is not very... significant ;)

I'd really like a closer view of the map, check some more locations. If you are from that regions it's quite an exciting discovery.

Score!
I am from Asciburgium, which apparently was already a settlement in 500 bc.

While I think this is very cool, the Spiegel also published a story about germania were it was stated that it was densely populated, with a population that was too numerous to be subdued by the romans. IN EB1 Germany is one of the area with the lowest population so maybe if the EB team doesnt agree on that fact, they disagree on the map too. After all its kind of a support of the heavily populated theory.

afaik even Tacitus states that Germania was densly populated yet the EB teams point about the low population is that. eventhogh there were a lot of inhabitants, a ruler in a far away(the next village) would have problem,s recruiting these men into his armies and as RTW pop numbers are rather an indicator of able men than absolite population.
