<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 2351206, member: 5833"]If it's a reproduction, the place names will not have been updated. Interesting question of whether there were any later editions with changes. Herculaneum shouldn't be on it because it was not discovered until a few years after the map was published. It's one of the places, like Pompeii, that was buried in the eruption of Vesuvius.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
