Battle posts generally take me a little while (relative to how much time I have to type them up), so with no more fighting on the horizon, hopefully we can "breeze" through the next handful of centuries and get at least in sight of baseball. Optimistically, next weekend begins baseball talk, but we'll see how my schedule looks this week.

At this time, I'm going to post an overview map, to make sure the big picture of this world (or this section of it) is conveyed well enough.

And actually from this map, I wouldn't mind a few suggestions on geographical names. (Not that I'm sure to take them...) The main three things that need to be named are the inland sea/lake, the sea to Celtia's east, and the large river that runs through our nation. Also, the western mountain range between Celtia and Greece might need a name, or the central mountains/highlands. I'm definitely not looking to name every little thing on the map at this point, but in the future its possible to go into greater detail.

For the river, at the moment I'm leaning towards calling it the River Isca. Isca means "water" in brythonic, and the River Isca was the brythonic name for today's River Usk in central Wales. Not set in stone though. Suggestions can be based on anything, by the way, doesn't have to have some deep reason behind it.

Note that the nations of China (Jewish), Ethiopia (Jewish) and Egypt (Hindu) aren't on the map because their quite distant and I've only gotten very small glimpses of their areas. The former two are to the northwest of Greece, and Egypt is to the northeast of Rome.
