Maqri is indeed the Canaries! They rarely get any love in pre-medieval timelines so I thought they were about due. As for the Arverni, absolutely- the Second Arverni confederacy is as different from the first as the Goths and Franks are from the earliest German speakers that encountered the Romans,

Μηδίζω! THE WORLD OF ACHAEMENID HELLAS CHAPTER 4:BAGAHA or THEOI EPILOGOS The interview begins now. It seems the world has left me one more surprise, right at the end. How curious, your appearance is so particular and unmistakable yet I cannot command the words to describe it, nor this space...

So when it comes to democracy, within 'Asia' the received wisdom on democracy becomes 'oh, it's perfectly fine for local governance, absolutely no potential/viability for a proper independent nation'. When it comes to Italy things will get more complicated, and also within the Phoenician world...

Amavadata we've already met, also known as Amavadatos, founder of the Amavadatid dynasty that successfully took Hellas away from the Achaemenids. Anshrnad hasn't been mentioned before though, I don't want to reveal too much about him just yet but it's a later Persian rendering of Ansharnasir, a...

In what's accidentally become a daily streak, here's today's 'Daeres learns how to vector' map.

This is a map relating to a setting that hasn't (and probably won't for a while?) appear on Althistory because it's an original fantasy setting of mine, rather than being historical in any way. This is also my continued quest to learn how to make vector images, and I'm quite pleased with how...
