NEW MAP: Europe 49: Bosporan War (31 Aug 49 AD) https://buff.ly/33y4NyR In the late 40s AD the Bosporan Kingdom—a Roman client state on the Black Sea—was thrown into crisis when the deposed King Mithridates III allied with the Siraces in an attempt to regain his throne. However, King Cotys and the commander of the small Roman garrison countered this move by calling on the Aorsi (soon to become known as or replaced by the Alans), defeating both Mithridates and the Siraces. #europe #history #welovehistory #welovemaps #map #ancienthistory #classicalworld #ancientworld #alans #august #august31 #crimea #bosporankingdom #aorsi #europeanhistory #parthia #romanempire #romans #roman #ancientrome #romanhistory #maps #newmap #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics (at Krasnodar) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1M3o-Ig3Q1/?igshid=en1f887d2yi6

NEW MAP: Europe 41: Reign of Caligula (24 Jan 41 AD) https://buff.ly/2Gx41bs When Tiberius died in 37 AD, the throne passed to his 24-year-old nephew Gaius Caesar, better known as Caligula. Despite his initial popularity, Caligula’s rule soon became arbitrary, cruel, and self-absorbed. He began pushing for his absolute power in Rome and, after abandoning Armenia and conducting a farcical military campaign against Germania and Britain, summarily executed the Client King of Mauretania, provoking a revolt in Africa. In early 41 AD, resentful of Caligula’s behavior, the Praetorian Guard assassinated him and proclaimed his uncle Claudius the new emperor—a sinister first in the history of the Empire. #europe #history #welovehistory #map #ancienthistory #classicalworld #caligula #ancientarmenia #antiquity #europeanhistory #ancienteurope #january #january24 #mauretania #parthia #romanempire #romans #roman #ancientrome #romanhistory #maps #newmap #historyteacher #historybuff #historygeek #historynerd #worldhistory #cartography #geopolitics #mapa (at Volubilis) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0WhilIA4QP/?igshid=10ujt33m96l9q
