Roman Greece, the province of Achaea is misspelled (map says "Achala").

Pannonia Superior and Pannonia Inferior are the opposite ones. Superior means "higher" and inferior means "lower" (in relation to Danube river). I've also checked WP articles on both provinces — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mask~ruwiki (talk • contribs) 13:40, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Major map update due to lots of factual errors

[edit]

Since this map unfortunately contains a lot of factual errors, see

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File_talk:Roman_provinces_trajan_2.svg

I therefore updated it and released the update as a new file

Licensing:

[edit]

The “Licensing” information of this file

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Roman_provinces_trajan.svg

says it is “public domain”, but since it has been derived from “Blank Map of Europe -w boundaries.svg”

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Blank_Map_of_Europe_-w_boundaries.svg

which was licensed “under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts.” as well as “the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license” this cannot be true.

The license information therefore should be updated.

Since the licensing information of “Blank Map of Europe -w boundaries.svg” states “You may select the license of your choice.” as part of the Wikimedia licensing update project to get rid of the GNU Free Documentation License
