Roman Map Directions

Roman Map -

1. Read the Map Assignment Guidelines Sheet first.

2. Draw the pencil outlines of all of the Roman Provinces onto the final copy Roman Outline Map provided. Make sure the right proportions and shapes are used to transfer the boundaries correctly.

3. Ink the lines using your fine sharpie.

4. Mark the City of Rome on the map.

5. Label each province. Label all other areas of the map that are not part of the Roman Empire.

5a. If the name cannot fit into the area of a province, then write the label in a larger open space nearby. 5b. All labels drawn outside a province should be either vertical or horizontal to the page, most being horizontal.

5c. Some label may follow the shape of the province, but use vertical or horizontal labels inside a province when possible.

6. Color each province using colored pencil. Use about 8 different colors. Avoid black or white. No two nearby provinces should be the same color, or closely shaded color (no blue and forest green for example). Colors of each nearby province should be a dramatically different color (Red and Blue are very different).

6a. Only color Roman Provinces. Do not color parts of the final map that are not part of source map.
