    Default The Peoples of Europe in Antiquity, as described by Ptolemy (c. 100-160, c.e.)

    From Reddit



    This map is an attempt at depicting the various tribes and ethno-linguistic groups that were mentioned in Ptolemy's "Geographia." It's important to note that pretty much everything south of the Rhine and the Danube was under control of the Romans by this time, but the continent was still a diverse patchwork of tribes, cities, and languages under the early Empire. It's also important to note that this likely is not a completely accurate representation of the groups at the time due to Ptolemy's limited knowledge of peoples in the far north / east.

    I ran out of paint before I could do a legend but here's what the colors correspond to!

    In France, Spain, Portugal, Britain, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy:

    Light Green: Celts

    Dark Green: Turdetani

    Yellow: Iberians

    Darker Yellow: Para-celtic groups like the Lusitani and the Vettones

    Pink: Aquitanians

    Teal: Ligures

    Purple: Germanic peoples

    Cream: Rhaetians

    Orange: Etruscans

    Red: Italic peoples

    Darker Pink: Veneti

    In the Balkans, Near East, and North Africa:

    Light Blue: Greeks

    Darker Blue: Illyrians

    Reddish Brown: Daco-Thracian peoples

    Mint: Anatolians

    Gold: Armenians

    Magenta: Phoenicians / Carthaginians

    Light Pink: Libyco-Berber peoples

    Indigo: Egyptians

    Light Purple: Aramaic-speaking peoples

    Dark Brown: Hebrews

    In Northeastern Europe:

    Brown: Bastarnae

    Ice Blue: Venedae

    Goldenrod: Aestii

    Orange: Sarmatae

    Light Brown: Fenni

    Olive Green: Northwest Caucasian peoples (e.g., Abkhazians)

    Light Pink: Georgians

    Grey (Maeotae, Tauri, peoples on Sicily, Sardinia, and the Baleares): Uncertain ethno-linguistic affiliation

    Setidava = Żnin? I always though it's Konin

    A permanent settlement arose along the Amber Road, which led from the Roman Empire to the Baltic Sea, traversing the area of present-day Konin. A map drawn by Ptolemy identified the settlement as Setidava (or Getidava), a probable spot to wade across the Warta and containing an emporium of some importance to merchants travelling along the route.[1] The settlement's primary burial ground, situated on the dunes west of the centre of today's Konin, dates back to the Przeworsk culture (Kultura Przeworska) of the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.
