NEW MAP: Europe 1813: Armistice of Pläswitz (4 June 1813) https://buff.ly/3y5l1hm In the spring of 1813 Napoleon counterattacked the advancing Russo-Prussian forces in Saxony, defeating them at Lützen and Bautzen before advancing into Silesia. However, French losses in this campaign were almost as great as those of the Allies, and in early June Napoleon and his opponents agreed to an armistice at Pläswitz. #1810s #1813 #19thcentury #arthistory #austria #axisallies #cartographic #europe #europeanhistory #france #geopolitics #historian #historical #historicalatlas #historicalmap #historisch #history #historylesson #historylovers #june #june4 #maps #napoleon #napoleonicwars #frenchhistory #oldmaps #prussia #russia #saxony #newmap (at Bautzen)

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 272: Battle of Immae (spring 272) https://buff.ly/2NHTXD1 While traveling east to face Zenobia, Aurelian concluded that Dacia was indefensible and pulled the remaining legions from that province south of the Danube. He then crossed into Asia Minor in early 272 and, marching rapidly on Syria, defeated Zenobia at Immae a few months later. #3rdcentury #ancientrome #cappadocia #dacia #europe #europeanhistory #galatia #historic #historisch #history #historybuff #historydegree #historyschool #maps #aurelian #moesia #oldmaps #palmyra #spqr #roman #romancivilwar #romancivilwars #romanempire #romanhistory #imperialrome #romans #romansyria #palmyra #zenobia #newmap (at Antakya, Hatay)
