1 - Euratlas Periodis Frequently Asked Questions
Here are six pages of questions and answers to complete the explanation of Periodis. You will notice that most of the queries are about the concept ofsequential historical atlas and the semi-independent entities category, but there are also a good lot of practical questions.
We hope that this F.A.Q. page will help you in your use of the Periodis maps. Feel free to ask us further questions. We will try to give them an answer in the upcoming months.

The first animation, the teacher's one, presents labelled maps with a medieval music soundtrack and lasts 2 minutes 59. The student's animationshows mute maps only, lasts 1 minute 54 and is accompanied by a terrific rocky song in Vaudois dialect, an extinct Franco-Provençal language, remembering the past times, by the Swiss singer and painter Bernard Rinsoz.

The site is readily accessible, free of charge to all, at peutinger.atlantides.org/map-a/. Map A presents the Peutinger Map as a seamless whole - invaluable for inspection, analysis, and sheer wonderment!
