Moselle Map Illustration for BBC World Histories Magazine VI
Here is my historic map of Germany's Moselle region – formerly 'Germania Inferior' of Roman Gaul – for BBC World Histories Magazine. It traces the journey of Roman writer Ausonius along the Moselle river from Bingen to Trier in 368 AD. ⠀
I had no idea that under the Roman empire the city of Koblenz used to be called 'Confluentes' and Trier 'Augusta Treverorum'. Apparently even back then the Moselle region was famous for its wine! 🍷🍇⠀
