Maps

Since its foundation, AWMC has worked to create maps for use both in scholarly publication and in the classroom, partnering with scholars and educators to expand our geographic knowledge of the ancient Mediterranean world. Many of our maps are available for free educational use under the CC-BY-NC 4.0 License . These maps can also be licensed for publication at nominal cost—please contact awmc@unc.edu for details.

Users can view and download AWMC Maps from the following categories:
