So delighted to report a map project is done. I searched the internet and all the books I could find and finally found a Mediterranean map, in Latin, so it had the place-names of Roman territories in the first century. With land areas in colors from yellowish through greens, the different shades really help to understand it. Happily, it was in public domain.
Unfortunately, it was of too large an area, so that in full it was going to be difficult to read. I cropped it to suit my needs and took that to the printer who does our church's bulletins, etc., and we worked together to get a color map large enough for our group. I won't hang it on the wall, since it can't be one of those real classroom-sized maps (wouldn't be readable), but mount it on the foamboard I have left over from last year's carolers project. I can display it on an easel or move about the room with it. He made me extras of the same in 8.5 x 11 as a bonus, so those at the rear of the class can have their own or share, and still catch on to the map.
