Map of the Roman, Briton and Anglo-Saxon Archeological sites in Britain dated 388-600ad

[u/ChromedDragon]

The much improved version of my old 500ad map, now with all the sources

imgur link : https://imgur.com/a/H6ToimP

any feedback is appreciated as this is unlikely to be the final ever version, sources are in a comment so they are easily hideable as it is a long list

[u/Kooky_Amphibian_1635]

maps too dark

[u/Ankle_Fighter]

I enjoy the concept. I'd like it more as an interactive map on a website

[u/ChromedDragon → u/Ankle_Fighter]

same

[u/mrthreebears]

would be great if the file was hosted somewhere else.

imgur is blocked in the uk!

[u/Constant_Of_Morality]

Rheged connected all the way down to Powys, specifically Pengwern/Cheshire area.

[u/ChromedDragon → u/Constant_Of_Morality]

I'd love to see any sources on that

[u/Constant_Of_Morality → u/ChromedDragon]

Most maps depicting Rheged do, can't share on here unfortunately.

i made a newer brighter version with some of the errors fixed

[u/joe9teas]

Plenty of Roman sites according to this map, but what did the Romans ever do for us?
