Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics: December (2005)
Abstract
This is the early draft of a collation of the map resources that are available for the study of Roman North Africa. It is hoped that, even in this early stage of presentation, it will be of some use to those who are seeking cartographic resources for research on the region.
General
The general maps that present perhaps the best overview of North Africa, locate most modern places, and give good visual presentation of the major topographical features are the Michelin road maps. They are readily available at most booksellers and map-dealers. The two most relevant maps in this series are:
Algeria-Tunisia
Michelin, 1:1,000,000 series, no. 172: Algérie – Tunisie, covering all of Algeria and Tunisia north of the border of the Sahara, with inset maps of ‘Région de Tlemcen,’ scale 1:500,000; `Environs d’Oran,’ scale 1:300,000; ‘Région d’Alger et Kabylie,’ scale 1:300,000; and ‘Région de Tunis,’ scale 1:500,000. The map is multicolour, with legends in Arabic and French, and with most major ancient archaeological sites marked.
