I am currently studying Roman history through Mike Duncan's "History of Rome" podcast. While it is absolutely enthralling the nature of the podcast is to be fluid and entertaining, not necessarily expose every single detail. After listening to each podcast I go on Wikipedia and try to read everything related to the episode, in order to be more knowledgable about it.
I am missing a lot of information, so I thought about printing some huge images(at Costco or something) and hanging them around, occasionally studying them. Stuff like timelines, maps, important Roman figures(and their images) etc. Does any of this exist? If so, I would greatly appreciate any information.
Thanks.
I've always been a fan of The Penguin Historical Atlas of Ancient Rome. It has a lot of beautiful maps and provides some text for context. It covers from founding til Justinian I. It isn't the best if you are primarily interested in Late Antique Rome, but otherwise it is great.
