Summary
Modern maps of the ancient world are generally plain black-and-white paper maps placed at the beginning of books. By contrast, the conference "Methods and Challenges for Mapping the Ancient World" focuses on how to use modern digital mapping tools to visualise and understand the ancient world, which will facilitate the creation of sophisticated and exciting modern maps of this historical area.
