3 - Printed Euratlas Historical Maps
Four Euratlas historical maps are now available as printed paper maps with a size of 59 cm x 84 cm (23 x 33 inches): Europe 1300 in English and French and Europe 300 in Latin-English and Latin-French. It is always difficult to show an overall view and, at the same time, all known details. Therefore, for clarity, the 2nd level administrative divisions on map 1300 are only marked but not named and the semi-independent entities are coloured like the dominant entities but with a lighter shade. On map 300, the provinces and cities are named in Latin with an English or French translation in a cartouche. You can have a look at a PDF sample of each map and if you choose to purchase one, you will receive it folded, like a road-map, in a C5 envelope. Until March 1st, 2012 you can even benefit of 4 euros discount for Europe 1300, English version. Simply copy this code:
prin-ted-130-0
in the required field of the purchase page.
4 - Pictures of Sweden
Photos of Sweden have been added to the Euratlas Countries of Europe section. So, you will see some nice pictures of runestones and Scandinavian landscapes, especially from Gotland and Öland.
Don't miss the famous Snake-Witch and a painting by Gustaf Hellqvist illustrating the capture of Visby by Valdemar IV of Denmark in 1361.
5 - GeaCron Historical Atlas
Geacron is a new online historical world atlas, available in English and 6 other languages. Among the highlights of this website, we must mention:
- a coverage of the whole world,
- a time extension from 3000 BC to 2011,
- the option of viewing almost every year,
- the ability to easily compare several years,
- the ability to customize historical periods,
- a feature that allows to view the terrain,
- a powerful zoom function.
This is an impressive and ambitious work which required a lot of effort. Obviously, the presentation of such a quantity of data requires some simplifications. The Holy Roman Empire, for instance, is treated as a unitary state throughout its existence, which could lead to some misinterpretations. Moreover, semi-independent entities are not considered and, among many other cases, Croatia is shown as a Hungarian province in AD 1100, while it was neither sovereign nor part of Hungary.
Anyway, GeaCron is a useful and indispensable tool for an overview of the historical political changes year by year.
We wish you a Merry Christmas

In 2010, he published Rome's World: The Peutinger Map Reconsidered, a work that offers a complete appreciation of the map: its discovery in the XVth century, its passing down, the numerous publication attempts, its probable origin and an interpretation about its conception and about the real aim of the lost original.

GAPMINDER
Gapminder is an information vizualisation software but above all, it is a Swedish Foundation created by the Rosling family in 2005, and whose aim is to build a fact-based worldview liberated from the fashionable myths and urban legends. Dr Hans Rosling has collected a wide amount of solid data about world health and wealth, among others, and thus, you can watch, for instance, a video showing the evolution of average life expectancy and average income (GDP per capita) in the world for the last 200 years. You'll notice that in 1811, no country in the world had a life expectancy above 41, while today, no country has a life expectancy below 44.
The Gapminder vizualisation software allows to play with these same data and you can even download it on your computer.

EURATLAS AT SSHA MEETING
On 18 November 2010, at the Social Science History Association Meeting, Marc-Antoine Nüssli presented Euratlas activity to an audience of about thirty researchers in historical geography. The auditors were very interested in our concept. It's worth to notice the discussant raised that the uncertain boundaries should be left blank when attested scientific data are missing, instead of being simply blurred. In fact, the Georeferenced Historical Vector Data allow each user to choose the entities he wants to treat.
You can see here the Euratlas presentation in PDF format and also a moredetailed article on this topic.

SERBIA
In 1809 at Niš, after a victory against the insurgents, the Ottoman commander Hursid Pasha erected a tower with the skulls of the defeated in order to frighten the Serbian population. This structure was preserved to remember the courage of the ancestors and can still be seen.
Romuliana Felix was a palatial complex built by Emperor Galerius in about 300 AD. The ruins are at Gamzigrad, near Zaječar, in the Timok river basin. There, on 21 July 2010, excavations have revealed a unique marble statue portraying a dog biting a wild boar.
You will see pictures of Niš, Romuliana Felix wild boar and of many other places in our new Serbia section of Europe Photos.
Several photos have been added as well in the pages of Italy, Hungary andSlovakia.

Euratlas Periodis Web is useful to see the position and evolution of the ancient states but, since it doesn't show the provinces and dependencies, some users have difficulties in exploring the past centuries. That is why we are preparing, for Euratlas-Info members only, detailed historical maps of Europe. These maps, realized with the Periodis Expert 'Customize View' function are offering an in-depth view of European history. For now, only the years 1300, 1400, 1500 and 1600 are available in English and French, but we will present more centuries later.
The big maps are watermarked but, if you use Periodis Expert, you will be able to produce images without imprints.

1000 YEARS EUROPE IN MAPS, VIDEO
Thanks to Periodis Expert, we have also prepared a video showing a brief history of Europe in maps, from year 1 to year 1000, with pictures and concise explanation. The sound track is an adaptation from Telemanns Watermusik made fit for the 21st century by Andreas Birken. The maps, photos and text are by Christos Nüssli and the slide composition by Roland Chabloz.
Nevertheless, you can still view also our previous video 2000 Years History in Europe, made 2 years ago.
