NEW MAP: Europe 1812: French retreat from Moscow (24 October 1812) https://omniatlas.com/maps/europe/18121024/ Despite the French capture of Moscow, the Russians refused to negotiate and Napoleon eventually realized that he had no option but to withdraw. In late October 1812 the French marched southwest towards Kaluga, in the hope of taking a fresh route back west, but were halted at Maloyaroslavets. Persuaded that the Kaluga road was no longer viable, Napoleon now decided to return along the same route he had come, a path already devastated by his advance. #1810s #1812 #19thcentury #atlas #europe #europeanhistory #france #history #historyclass #historygram #historyinthemaking #historylesson #historylover #historyschool #historyteacher #maps #napoleon #napoleonic #napoleonicwars #october #october24 #frenchhistory #russianempire #peninsularwar #strategy #militaryhistory #welovehistory #worldhistory #newmap (at Maloyaroslavets)

NEW MAP: Europe 313: Battle of Tzirallum (30 April 313) https://buff.ly/2Wg5UUN Constantine’s capture of Rome established his preeminence among the three Augusti. Realizing that Constantine and Licinius were colluding against him, Maximinus Daza crossed into Europe in the spring of 313 but was decisively defeated by Licinius at Tzirallum. Maximinus was the last Roman emperor to persecute Christians; following his downfall, Christianity began to emerge as the dominant religion in the empire. #4thcentury #ancientrome #april #april30 #constantine #cartographer #constantinei #easternromanempire #europe #europeanhistory #geopolitics #historicalplace #history #historydegree #historyfacts #historylover #historymajor #historyschool #maps #riskgame #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #teachinghistory #westernromanempire #worldatlas #newmap (at Çorlu)

NEW MAP: Europe 310: Maximian’s Last Stand (July 310) https://buff.ly/2TMJFoo Maximinus Daza refused to accept the rulings at Carnuntum and demanded to be made an Augustus. Reluctantly, Galerius backed down, initially acknowledging Maximinus and Constantine as ‘Sons of Augusti’ then, after Maximinus threatened to rebel, recognizing them both as full Augusti in 310. That year Constantine faced his own problems when his father-in-law Maximian emerged from retirement in Viennensis and proclaimed himself emperor again. However, Maximian found little support and was forced to kill himself when Constantine’s army arrived. #4thcentury #ancientrome #constantine #constantinethegreat #constantinei #maximian #easternromanempire #europeanhistory #gaul #historian #historias #historic #historicalmap #historisch #historybuff #historydegree #historylover #historylovers #historyschool #instahistory #maps #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romanitaly #romans #westernromanempire #worldhistory (at Arles, France)

NEW MAP: Europe 308: Council of Carnuntum (11 November 308) https://buff.ly/3BADGE0 Maximian and Maxentius soon had a falling out and in April 308 Maximian took refuge with Constantine, encouraging Domitius Alexander in Africa to also break with Maxentius. That year Diocletian came out of retirement and, at Carnuntum in November, met with Galerius and Maximian in an attempt to restore stability to the empire. They agreed to appoint Licinius as a new Augustus, to confirm Constantine and Maximinus Daza as Caesars, and for Maximian to step down. For a moment an unprecedented eight emperors ruled the Roman world, but even after Diocletian and Maximian returned to retirement, a still daunting six remained. #4thcentury #ancientrome #arthistory #constantinethegreat #constantinei #diocletian #galerius #cartografia #cartography #easternromanempire #europe #europeanhistory #historicalplace #history #historydegree #historylover #historymatters #historynerd #maps #roman #romanafrica #romancivilwar #tetrarchy #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #teachinghistory #welovemaps #westernromanempire #newmap (at Carnuntum)

NEW MAP: Europe 305: Second Tetrarchy (1 May 305) https://buff.ly/2SMcCAk In 305 Diocletian and Maximian both retired, setting a precedent in the hopes of stabilizing the office of Emperor and preventing further succession crises. Galerius and Constantius became the new Augusti and appointed Maximinus Daza and Valerius Severus as their Caesars. #4thcentury #constantine #diocletian #tetrarchy #ancientrome #easternromanempire #europe #europeanhistory #historias #historicalplace #historygram #historylover #historymajor #historymatters #historynerd #persianempire #sasanian #history #mapmaking #maps #may #may1 #ancienthistory #roman #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #welovehistory #westernromanempire #newmap (at Milan, Italy)

NEW MAP: Europe 302: Battle of Lingones (circa 302) https://buff.ly/35UsCDj Between 299 and 305 the Roman Empire went largely unthreatened by war, perhaps a testament to the general success of Diocletian’s reforms. One exception was in around 302, when an Alemannic raiding force almost captured Constantius at Lingones, deep within Gaul. However, Constantius soon defeated the invaders and drove them back across the Rhine, stabilizing that frontier as well. #thirdcentury #alemanni #ancientrome #germania #carta #constantine #europe #europeanhistory #gaul #historia #historie #histories #history #historydegree #historylover #historylovers #historymajor #ancientgaul #persianempire #mapmaking #maps #roman #romanemperor #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #ancientgermany #germanhistory #sarmatia #newmap (at Langres)

NEW MAP: Europe 1813: Battle of Vitoria (21 June 1813) https://buff.ly/3xgRVei Napoleon’s need to defend against the Sixth Coalition in Germany forced him to pull troops from Spain. In May 1813 Wellington launched a renewed offensive from Portugal, threatening French supply lines to the peninsula by marching on the mountain passes of the western Pyrenees. The French tried to stop him at Vitoria, but were roundly defeated, prompting King Joseph Bonaparte to flee to France. #vitoria #1813 #19thcentury #dukeofwellington #austrianempire #carta #cartography #europe #europeanhistory #frenchempire #frenchhistory #historicalatlas #histories #history #historylesson #historylover #historymatters #historyteacher #june #peninsularwar #maps #napoleon #napoleonicwars #prussia #russianempire #spanishhistory #britishmilitary #worldatlas #worldhistory #newmap (at Vitoria-Gasteiz, Pais Vasco, Spain)

NEW MAP: Europe 296: Battle of Calleva Atrebatum (September 296) https://buff.ly/2SXPm25 With the establishment of the Tetrarchy, Constantius took command in Gaul and immediately moved against Carausius, who he expelled from the major Gallic port of Gesoriacum in the summer of 293. However, it would be another three years before Constantius was ready to launch a fleet to cross the Channel and land two armies on the British coast. Carausius’ successor Allectus moved against the invaders, but was defeated near Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester), bringing an end to almost ten years of rebel rule in Britain. #thirdcentury #diocletian #ancientrome #cartography #romanbritain #europe #europeanhistory #gaul #historia #historie #history #historydegree #historylover #historynerd #constantius #mapmaking #maps #oldmaps #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #romaninvasion #englishhistory #ancientbritain #britishhistory #welovemaps #newmap (at Calleva Atrebatum)

NEW MAP: Europe 293: First Tetrarchy (1 March 293) https://buff.ly/34rIKv6 By 293 Carausius still held out in Britain and Diocletian had become convinced that a new system was needed to secure both the Roman Empire and the succession. In March he presided over the appointment of two Caesars (subordinates and heirs)—Galerius to serve with him in the East and Constantius to join Maximian in the West. This rule of four men—two Augusti (emperors) and two Caesars—later became known as the Tetrarchy. #thirdcentury #ancientrome #tetrarchy #diocletian #easternromanempire #europe #europeanhistory #gaul #goths #historical #historicalmap #historicalmaps #historicalplace #historie #history #historylover #ancientpersia #mapping #maps #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #constantius #romanemperor #welovemaps #worldatlas #newmap (at Mediolanum)

NEW MAP: Europe 278: Probus’ Restoration of Gaul (summer 278) https://buff.ly/3tokd5h After becoming emperor, Probus marched west, where in 277–8 he expelled the Germanic invaders from Gaul and mounted his own invasion of Germania. While he was engaged in this war, usurpers rose up in Syria and Britain, but were swiftly suppressed. #thirdcentury #alemanni #ancientrome #germania #burgundians #cartographic #ancientgaul #gaul #europe #europeanhistory #gallic #franks #histories #historygram #historylover #historynerd #instahistory #mapmaking #maps #roman #romancivilwar #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #spqr #romanemperor #caesar #welovehistory #welovemaps #newmap (at Frankfurt, Germany)

NEW MAP: Europe 1814: Treaty of Kiel (14 January 1814) https://buff.ly/38JC9io In late 1813 allied Sweden invaded the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, forcing Denmark to sue for peace. By the Treaty of Kiel, Denmark agreed to cede Norway to Sweden and Heligoland to Britain. Coupled with the defection of Naples a few days earlier, this treaty left Napoleon bereft of allies in Europe. #1810s #1814 #19thcentury #austrianempire #cartographic #cartography #historyofdenmark #europe #europeanhistory #faroeislands #france #greenland #historyofnorway #history #historybuff #historylover #historyoficeland #instahistory #january #january14 #map #mapmaking #maps #napoleon #norwegianhistory #napoleonicwars #swedishhistory #swedishpomerania #britishempire #newmap (at Kiel, Germany)

NEW MAP: Europe 273: Revolt of Firmus (July 273) https://buff.ly/3ete3vW No sooner had Aurelian crossed into Europe after his defeat of Zenobia, than Palmyra rebelled again. Racing back east, the emperor sacked the city in retribution, only to face a pro-Palmyrene uprising in Egypt. This too Aurelian crushed, although in the fighting the Brucheion quarter of Alexandria, which housed the famous Great Library, was almost entirely destroyed. #thirdcentury #ancientrome #romanegypt #ancientegypt #aurelian #cartography #dacia #europe #europeanhistory #historia #historian #historic #historylesson #historylover #historymaker #historymatters #spqr #classicalera #map #mapping #maps #alexandria #palmyra #roman #romanempire #romanhistory #romans #romansyria #greatlibrary #newmap (at Alexandria, Egypt)
