The Antonine Wall was the north-west frontier of the Roman Empire in the mid 2nd century AD. It was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list in 2008. The nomination process required a detailed assessment of the location and mapping
of the monument, and the production of new maps of the Wall. This was accompanied by a new map of the Antonine Wall, designed for a general audience.
The use of maps to help diagnose the processes by which the Romans may have planned their roads and walls in northern Britain, with particular reference to the Antonine Wall in Scotland

This article describes the ways in which both printed and digital forms of map have been used to help diagnose how Roman surveyors may have set out the lines of their roads across the landscape. Employing as a test bed the course of Roman Dere
Street between the Vale of York and Newstead in Scotland, the processes of Roman road planning are interpreted and described. The possibility is then examined that these processes may have been applied to the planning of Hadrian’s Wall and the Antonine

The nomination of the Antonine Wall as a World Heritage Site in 2007 required identification of the proposed boundaries of the Site and its buffer zone on maps. The maps prepared by RCAHMS built on a long history of mapping the frontier

This review will consider, in particular, the scope and purpose of permafrost maps, underlying philosophical and technical questions, and possible future directions. The principal emphasis is on large-format maps published as sheet maps or atlas
The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the possibilities provided by the application of mapping techniques to gully research. The gully selected for this paper is located in Morocco and is of the V-shaped type in the classification of IMESON

in Italy. In Bologna, in the archive of Opera Pia dei Poveri Vergognosi, is a set of Blaeu's four wallmaps of the continents, engraved on new plates by Pietro Todeschi and published by Giuseppe Longhi. The value of the discovery lies in the completeness
of the exemplars, which also bear the publisher's imprint and date of publication, hitherto unknown: Europe 1677; Africa 1678; Asia 1679; America 1679/1680(?). An undated version of de Wit's world wallmap, also published by Longhi, has come to light in the same
archive. A copy of the same map, this time published by Giovanni Giacomo de' Rossi in Rome in 1675, was then found in Modena in the Seminario Metropolitano. Comparison of the two copies has provided a date for Longhi's undated issue; Longhi's map came
Saxton's Maps of England and Wales : The accuracy of Anglia and Britannia and their relationship to each other and to the County Maps

From measurements of the graticules on Saxton's two general maps of England and Wales (the atlas map Anglia and the wallmap Brittania), it is argued that neither map was drawn according to any specific projection, but that both were effectively
produced as flat-earth maps with the graticules superimposed afterwards. Comparisons are made between digital versions of Saxton's maps and of a modern map, by means of the computer program MapAnalyst. The maps are of almost the same accuracy in terms

corpus of inventories of household goods records the location of these wall decorations and, together with books offering advice on the display of maps, provides evidence that maps were intentionally placed in the most public spaces in the house
. The manuals also confirm the impression gained from the inventories that the maps were valued for their ability to construct a public identity for the owner. They were versatile objects that could demonstrate that the owner was a cultured, cosmopolitan man

L'affirmation que la Gough Map fut réalisée à l'origine au cours des années 1370 ou autour de cette période, puis réécrite et ré-encrée environ cinquante ans plus tard, n'est pas convaincante. La main la plus précoce identifiée au nord du mur

of the map which is said to be revised is not evident to me. The serious but uneven and erratic fading of the ink on the map, which is not surprising, accounts for most of the anomalies and variations that we see. Dr Solopova's claim, based on her theory
of revision, that the map displays contrasting political or ‘ideological’ emphases from two different periods seems unrelated to the actual content of the map. The known history of the development of chorography in medieval Europe indicates that the appearance
of a map as advanced as the Gough map in northern Europe before 1400 is almost unimaginable.
