Talk:Borders of the Roman Empire

message: The map of the borders of the Roman Empire needs some corrections.
First, Ireland was never part of the Roman empire, so the cyon (light blue) color in eastern Ireland should be erased.
Second, the western Arabian peninsula was temporarily conquered by the Romans under Augustus, when he sent Gaius Aelius Gallus to the actual Yemen (and the Roman fleet with him destroyed the port of actual Aden).
Third, the Garamantes, a berber tribe south of Tripoli (Libia) in the first centuries after Augustus were "associated" with the Roman Empire, so their territory -stretching from actual Tripolitania to the Fezzan in actual southern Libia- should be included in the map.

I didn't know about Libia and the Arabian Peninsula, however SW Ireland was under "control" of the romans (not for more than two weeks, but it was) —Argentino (talk/cont.) 22:20, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Could someone post a date or under which emperor for when Ireland was allegedly under Roman control?  I don't doubt that it may have been suggested, but a date would be helpful here.  Thanks, --24.154.173.243 18:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: There's been some pretty tendentious writing about Ireland in this context, although I can't recall the title of the book and articles I'm thinking of. In my view, various contributors take archaeological evidence that is most easily explained by trading links and fit it to some faint literary evidence, and Hey Presto! Ireland was part of the empire ... There are political implications in this - seems unionists and people who advocate a Greater Britain, in which Ireland is a province ruled from southern England, like to imagine that the political roots reach all the way down. It's the kind of history that slots in beside King Arthur and the Trojan origins of the British polity. I think the colour should be taken out of Ireland's cheeks.--Shtove 18:29, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Perhaps this article came originally from an Italian source? If anyone knows of an English-language atlas that would cover the same ground, perhaps they could add it. The Italian atlas can't be found on Amazon.com. EdJohnston 03:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry if the Italian atlases cant be found on Amazon. Those are the ones I bought when I was a school in the italian school in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Since Rome was the capital of the empire, you shouldn't be amazed if the best sources were in Italian. —Argentino (talk/cont.) 16:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Argentino, thanks for the update! However the new ISBN that you provided for 'Nuovo Atlante Storico', 88-451-5401-0, is also invalid, which can be confirmed by entering it at www.isbn.org/converterpub.asp. EdJohnston 18:50, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I went ahead and added two English-language historical atlases to the reference list. These books have maps of the borders of the empire at various times. I removed the De Agostini atlas with the invalid ISBN, leaving a later edition of the same book in place. Let me know if anyone disagrees with this solution. EdJohnston 20:22, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

message: The picture shows that all of the Netherlands are occupied by the Roman Empire. That's wrong because the never crossed the rhine, beyond the rhine where there allies the Batavians (don't know if correctly spelled). If you look at the picture at Roman Empire you also see that territory doesn't go above the rhine.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.204.77.94 (talk) 16:40, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Please adjust current article photo for clearer resemblance.
It never occupied all of Romania's territory.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.42.91.57 (talk) 18:05, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Should the map be updated? If this is put through, who wants to make revisions across Roman Empire topics?
