Ancient maps

An intersting article detailing 6 maps from antiquity. Some are quite simple (world map from Greece) but another is 22 feet long and details the Roman Empire's road network; not to scale but with mileage between points and landmarks.

That 22-foot Roman Empire map is the Peutinger Table, aka Tabula Peutingeriana, and the Wikipedia page includes a high-res complete image of the whole - may take a while to load, however, as the full-size JPG is about 15 MB. This is the direct link to that Wikimedia image.
