    This is the map for Europe (I'm still working on the Asian map, expect soon).

    For the most part, I've made it accurate where I can: Carthage, Roma, and the three Successor States.

    "Gaul" here symbolizes the various Gallic-Celtic tribes of Europe; hence why they don't go past the Rhine, and their presence in northern Italy. Note that in practice these were in no way really unified or cohesive in any manner.

    "Iberia" is, to be honest, essentially filler of what Carthage doesn't yet have. Once again, like Gaul, this wasn't unified in any sense either; "Celts" would be virtually everyone in Gaul and Iberia, although are here split for our purposes.

    Britannia is, like its Celtic cousins on the Continent, also essentially arbitrary. They don't have Scotland because, although Celts of a fashion were there (the Picts, Scots, Welsh, Irish etc., were all Celtic tribes), they were of a different sort than the "Britons" in the same sense that the "Gauls" were different from the "Iberians".

    Dacia and Thracia are also arbitrary; neither was unified on any sort of grand scale, and indeed the split between them is also arbitrary, as the people of that area were essentially just "Thraco-Dacians".

    Armenia is mostly conjecture based on their general history and historical anecdotes (the Armenian king offered Crassus aid if he marched through the Armenian mountains when the Roman led his army against Parthia; Crassus, of course, declined, marching straight across the desert and meeting his famous defeat at Carrhae).

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 



    Parthia and Bactria's territories are overlapping Seleucid territories; this is deliberate, as at this point both countries are still technically satrapies, and subservient to the Seleucids. In practice, the Parthians (still in many ways a migrating horse-peoples) are beginning to slowly exert their own influence over areas neglected by the Seleucids, and the Bactrians are doing essentially the same thing; waiting for Seleucid weakness to become apparent, waiting to strike. Again, though: Bactria is a Seleucid satrapy; and those parts of "Parthia" not controlled by the Parthians themselves won't become organized under any one ruler until Arsaces I in about 250 B.C.E.
