6 von 28 Rome and the Punic Wars (Klasse 7) Ancient Cultures 5 I/A M 2 Method sheet: Understanding historical maps With the help of a map you can get information about what happened when and where. But a historical map only shows a short part of history and not a longer period of time. How do you work with such a map? Helpful information: Part or whole? Does the map show only a part of a country or a complete country? Colours and names: Different colours and names mark areas or countries. They also show if they belong together. In this map all countries shown in (orange) belong together: Hispania belonged to Rome after the Punic Wars. Each map has its own language with special signs and symbols: Lines and arrows: Coloured lines and arrows can be used to show the movements of people or armies. Symbols: These mark important towns and crossed swords mark places of important battles. How to analyse maps methodically step by step: 1. Describe What is the map about? Look at the heading and the explanation. What is shown? Which country, places or towns are shown? Tip: Use a modern atlas to compare the historical map with the world today. 2. Examine Find out the time structure of the map. Does it deal with a special point in time / a specific year or a longer period? Look at the explanation again: what do the colours and symbols mean? 3. Analyse Summarize / sum up the most important information you have worked out and find the historical connection. Vocabulary aids for those who want to become experts: The Mediterranean before and after the 1 st and 2 nd Punic Wars 1.
