You can see all of Roman-era Britain here.

Edit: In addition, the ORBIS tool allows you to calculate time and cost to travel different distances in the Roman Empire. It's like google maps for the ancient world. Lots of very surprising information that I hadn't taken into account in my worldbuilding. Video overview here, actual tool here.

Edit 2: I found this map for sale on Amazon, along with a map of Ancient Britain.

There's so many barbaric countries out there. A lot of them are islamic theocracies or majority muslim countries that have cultures that are extremely oppressive to women. FGM, honor killings, stoning women to death, male guardianship of women, policing their fashion, usage of women as baby factories, no educational or career opportunities, etc...

It's fucked up that the politically correct left condemns any person who criticizes the way islamic culture and islamic theocracies treat women and calls them "islamophobic" or "zenophobic." The reality is that islam, like all abrahamic religions, are inherently misogynistic and oppressive to women. The politically correct left is attempting to take away people's rights to stand up for women's rights.

Sounds Brilliant. I remember when I was given https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Times_Atlas_of_World_History back in the day, how amazed I was by the changing world in which we lived

Something like that on-line would be fantastic

EDIT: Actually found the same edition I have on sale at https://www.amazon.com/Times-Atlas-World-History/dp/0843711256/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1501004978&sr=8-3&keywords=The+Times+Atlas+of+World+History

The maps took me on a journey,and made things so much clearer

We all have weird interests like that, which we can't blame on insomnia or mental instability. The day I found this book in a bargain bin was one of the happiest days of my life... Because I'd been looking for something like it for ages.
