This site has simply the most exquisite colour maps of the Roman Empire I have been able to find anywhere on the net. If you thought the Empire ended when the Goths sacked Rome in 476, then think again. Technically, the Roman Empire ended in 1453 with the fall of Constantinople to the Turks. These maps cover everything in between including the rise of the Carolingian Holy Roman Empire.

I actually found these maps some years ago, but then lost track of the link. Thankfully, I was able to use Google's image search to relocate them. Each map is about 250 KB.

Here they are for your viewing convenience:
1 AD 100 AD 200 AD 300 AD 400 AD 500 AD
600 AD 700 AD 800 AD 900 AD 1000 AD
1100 AD 1200 AD 1300 AD 1400 AD 1500 AD
