Itinerarium

A reading atlas

the road, the stages, the distances

Historically accurate maps for the history books you are actually reading, with a bookmark that hides everything you have not reached yet.

Henry V — ground by ground

1386 to 1453. Every battle, siege, crossing and reversal of the reign and its wreckage, placed where it happened, on a map of the world as it was in 1415.

Dan Jones, Henry V · working

Hannibal — the war of one man

247 to 183 BC. From the boy who followed his father to Spain to the old man at Libyssa, on the ancient shoreline from AWMC and the cities Pleiades says were there.

Patrick N. Hunt, Hannibal · working

The Last Days — the end of the Cretaceous

66 million years ago, on a globe of the world as it actually was: the Chicxulub impact and the sites that record the million years it took to get back up. A reference atlas — no bookmark, nothing here is a spoiler.

Riley Black, The Last Days of the Dinosaurs · ground spike

Deep Time — the Phanerozoic

The whole Earth, one act at a time, on the continents as they stood at each age: the coal forests, their collapse, and the end of the Permian. Scrub across an act and the planet re-draws. A reference atlas — no bookmark.

No single book · spike, two acts

Stratagemata — the battles, and what they teach

431 BC to 1914. Battles that teach something, each read from one side and opened, where the ground is known, into a surveyed field with the formations of a named reconstruction — plus the decisions and the texts around them. Blue is the side being studied, red the opponent. A reference atlas — no bookmark.

No single book · three acts, three fields

Vestigia

The things that are still there. Every margin note across every book, on one map of the world as it is now.
