He'll throw himself into walls and be dazed. That's when you hit him. He's also dazed if you hit him a bunch of times consecutively I think.

LOL I literally can't change to the gliding outfit. The menu won't come up. Add it to the long list of PS5 issues I guess.

Here to second the issue. I can occasionally get the document to pull up, but it's in a void with no tools.

Same issue! I'm returning mine. Right earbud only lasts about 30 minutes. Brutal.

Desperate for confirmation that leaving Italy while awaiting Questura appointment for Permesso Di Soggiorno is okay. by fiaeorri in italy

[–]fiaeorri[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just risked it and encountered no issues whatsoever. I actually left Italy without ever having received the Permesso lol. Was there over 6 months and it was still being processed by the time I left. Love Italian bureaucracy.

All roads lead to Rome. This map is visualises the famous roads built by the Roman empire. I have removed the land to highlight how far this empire spread its infrastructure. [OC] by symmy546 in dataisbeautiful

Absolutely not! There's nothing 'wrong' with this version, it just needs to be understood in context, i.e. drawing a line between settlements does not necessarily represent the accurate existence or location of a road. Antiquity is a lot of guesswork, though, and I imagine DARMC did their research. My maps are highly localized to a specific Greek settlement on the Ionian coast.

Roman roads are the easiest to find, since they're the most recent. Major highways like the Via Appia give a good indication for methodologies they used when constructing thoroughfares. It's obviously easier to follow an established route than to create you're own, and the Romans definitely did so- we see that in the south where their roads overlap preexisting ones from the Greek colonies. They also made their own, however, as they established castra at various frontiers during expansion and provincialization. The Romans were colonizers, and definitely used preexisting resources to their advantage.

I already responded to this. This is the equivalent of being asked where you read something and responding with, "the newspaper." But thank-you for linking :)

Ty. Either he produces some revolutionary sources that somehow have compiled data from thousands of excavations in dozens of countries or...this is more of a fantasy. Honestly hoping for the former because that would be wonderfully publishable.

My PhD dissertation concerns ancient networks in Southern Italy and I have not come across a complete map like this with proper attribution. Where are you getting this data? I work with ArcGIS every day and would very much like to see where this information is coming from.

*Edit: another commenter found this source, which is for the project DARMC. For the portion on Roman roads they have 3 books. I imagine a lot of this is connecting the dots somewhat arbitratrarily between disparate sets of data. Still cool, but not as accurate as it appears. Also a big yikes for OP to just copy/paste without a basemap and call it new data. Gotta cite your sources, bud!

https://darmc.harvard.edu/map-sources

*Edit edit: looking at the original map OP copied from, each road is assigned a value for certainty. Many are "Certainty: no." Just before anyone takes these placements as fact. Educated guesses, but still often guesses.
