NEW MAP: Europe 307: Galerius vs Maxentius (fall 307) https://buff.ly/3iibFZa Galerius rejected Maxentius’ claim to power in Rome and sent Severus to crush him in early 307. However, Maxentius’ father Maximian returned in support of his son and the two defeated Severus. Maximian then traveled to Gaul to secure the friendship of Constantine. While he was doing this, Galerius invaded Italy himself, but had to withdraw when he realized he could not capture Rome. #thirdcentury #ancientrome #constantinethegreat #constantine #constantinei #maxentius #galerius #europe #europeanhistory #gaul #historie #historyfacts #historygeek #historylesson #historylovers #historymajor #historymaker #mapping #maps #roman #romanafrica #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romanitaly #romans #westernromanempire #worldatlas #newmap (at Rome, Italy)

NEW MAP: Europe 283: Carus’ Persian campaign (July 283) https://buff.ly/3e5hPeg In late 282 Probus was assassinated and succeeded by Carus. Learning that the Persians were in civil war, Carus rushed east with his army, placing his son Carinus in charge of the West. Carus’ invasion of Persia proved to be a great success—that is, until he fell ill and was apparently struck dead by lightning in the summer of 283. #thirdcentury #3rdcentury #ancientrome #carta #europe #europeanhistory #historia #histories #historybuff #historygeek #historyteacher #instahistory #map #mapa #maps #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #sasanian #sasanid #persianempire #ancientpersia #lightningstrikes #romanmilitary #teachinghistory #welovehistory #newmap (at Ctesiphon)

Asia Pacific 83 years ago today: Battle of Tai'erzhuang (7 April 1938) https://buff.ly/3rX3bcH Despite the outcry over the fall of Shanghai and the Rape of Nanking, the Western powers were not prepared to intervene against Japan. However there was some hope for the Chinese - in April their troops managed their first major victory, defeating the Japanese at Tai'erzhuang and temporarily preventing the connection of the two Japanese armies. #1930s #1938 #20thcentury #april #april7 #asiapacific #atlas #axisallies #cartografia #chinesecivilwar #chiangkaishek #chinesehistory #nazigermany #historyclass #historygeek #historymajor #historymaker #historymatters #historymuseum #empireofjapan #japanesehistory #mapa #maps #sinojapanesewar #japaneseempire #ww2 #wwii #todayinhistory #historytoday #thisdayinhistory (at Taierzhuang Battle Memorial Hall)

NEW MAP: Europe 275: Assassination of Aurelian (September 275) https://buff.ly/3rq8iBQ Aurelian’s victory in Gaul restored unity to the Roman Empire, a feat the Senate acknowledged by granting him the title Restitutor Orbis (“Restorer of the World”). The emperor then set his sights on Persia only to be assassinated by some of his staff in September 275. His sudden death shocked the army, who turned to the Senate to select a new emperor. Over the ensuing 2–3 months of consultation, there was an interregnum, during which Aurelian’s widow Ulpia Severina seems to have continued to preside as empress. #thirdcentury #alemanni #ancientrome #aurelian #cartografia #europe #europeanhistory #romanemperor #historia #historicalmap #historie #histories #historygeek #historymajor #historymuseum #persianempire #map #mapping #maps #militaryhistory #roman #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #semnones #september #spqr #thrace #caesar #newmap (at Caenophrurium)

This was my Cyber Monday splurge! I’ve been dying to buy this CCC pennant and bandana from @mollyjogger since I started writing Ever Faithful (releasing 6/2019). My hero is a CCC recruit from Brooklyn NY sent to work in Yellowstone. He’s in for more than a few adventures–including a chance at love! Pre-orders for Ever Faithful are available now from most booksellers.
Maybe I should pick up a few more bananas and pennants for reader giveaways. What do you think? Would anyone be interested other than this complete #historygeek?
