2. Maantie. Maantie ei tarkoita maalla olevaa tietä, vaan on jo keskiaikaisten maan(👈!)lakien tieluokka. Maantie (r. Landsväg) oli koko maakunnan (r. Land, lat. Terra) verotalonpoikien yhteisesti ylläpitämä tie, maa/ linnavoutikuntien välinen tie. Hämeensilta oli keskiajalla yleisen maantien silta.

The Newport Arch - the remains of the north gateway to Roman Lincoln (Lindum Colonia). Built in around 200 AD, the arch is the only Roman gateway in the UK still used by traffic. 📸 My own. #RomanSiteSaturday #RomanBritain #Lincoln

This is such a cool illustration of how the Mercator map distorts the size of Greenland, which looks as big as the whole continent of Africa on that map but is actually the size of Mexico.

This is a useful website to quickly view different map projections. Useful when you want to map a specific region and aren't sure what projection to use. Also, it's just good fun to play with: buff.ly/36nJtxQ

Media reports are often overly simplified, obviously. Our friends at itiner-e were more cautious in their publications, though. For scientific discourse, it is a great proof of methodology. Feedback on details are certainly welcome and will be integrated in v. 2.0, for sure.
Cet article sur les voies de l'empire romain fait le buzz, mais en faire un "high resolution dataset" est bien imprudent... pour un petit coin de Bourgogne, routes royales et nationales du 18e ou 20e s. coexistent avec des tracés hypothétiques au mieux. 1/
