Geospatial model of the Roman World.
Want to know how long it would take to get from what is now Yorkshire to Rome in the first century? And the best route? And the expense?
If you are a historical novelist and you haven’t encountered this interactive site, you need to. It’s centered on the Roman Empire, but with care this info will translate to other eras.

I am so fucking sick of looking for drawing references and finding one thousand fake shitty images created by craiyon or open ai or whatever the fuck. get those fucking things out of my search results. if I am looking for reference photos of a frog species or a person with arm crutches or a medieval depiction of an animal I do not want to see this shitty ai crap that not only looks like absolute ass but also overtakes actual images of the thing I am looking for and pushes them way down the page. begone foul thing

A collection of interactive maps that use 700-year-old records of coroners’ inquests to locate and detail homicides across three UK cities.
A great resource for Writers
Read more from The Guardian:
The team behind the project say they hope the approach will offer a window into the past.
“It brings [the records] to life because you can actually locate them in places that you know about,” said Prof Manuel Eisner, the lead murder map investigator and director of Cambridge’s Institute of Criminology.
