Tabula Peutingeriana
This is really cool. The Austrians are going to put on display the Tabula Peutingeriana for a limited time to celebrate it being include in UNESCO's "Memory of the World" list. The Tabula Peutingeriana is a medieval copy of an original Roman map of the known world covering Spain in the west as far as India to the east. Wikipedia have a nice article about it with an image of the entire map. Heres the west portion which shows Ireland, Britain, Spain and North Africa.
