Princeton/Stanford Working Papers in Classics Map Resources for Roman North Africa Version 2.1 December 2005 Brent D. Shaw Princeton University 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. © Brent D. Shaw [email protected] I.

TOPOGRAPHY 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. Morocco Michelin, 1:1,000,000 series, no. 169: Maroc, covering all of Morocco, with inset maps ‘Le Rif et Région de Meknès Fès,’ scale 1:600,000; ‘Région de Casablanca,’ scale 1:600,000; ‘Province de Tarfaya,’ scale 1:200,000; ‘Région de Moyen Atlas,’ scale 1:600,000; and ‘Région de Marrakech,’ scale 1:600,000. The map is multicolour, with legends in Arabic
