Viggen Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Progress has been made in piecing together the Forma Urbis Romae, a map of Rome carved into stone slabs about AD 210 but later broken into fragments. Measuring 18m by 14m, it was originally hung in the Templum Pacis, one of the ancient city's major public landmarks. The map was remarkably accurate but researchers looking for new sites to excavate in Rome had only managed to fit back together a few of the pieces. full article at the BBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
