    Hello collegues,

    I am a member of the TIR-FOR online Project and I’m glad to share our project with you.

    The TIR online Project is a Roman World Detailed Gazetteer and it consists on the digitalization of the fundamental information about the roman sites in a large database, under unified criteria and with visibility into a single open access portal. It emerges from the necessity to provide the public with a digital tool that give a large, scientific and contrasted archaeological and historical information of every site. Because the strength of this gazetteer is their database, created for several scientific teams of every region of the Roman Empire.

    The origin of the TIR online Project is the Tabula Imperii Romani Project initiated in the beginning of the twentieth Century by an English geographer, Osbert Guy Stanhop Crawford. In the last hundred years, the Tabula Imperii Romani has created an archaeological map of the Roman Empire joined to a synthetic text and detailed information. As basic cartography, it was chosen the International Map of the World, subdivided in sheets at 1:1.000.000 (fig.). Forward it was included some areas to 1:250.000. This work was manifested in a twenty-nine volumes published.

    The essence of the Tabula Imperii Romani is the belief of the Roman past forms the basis of today’s European culture, for this reason now born the TIR online Project to give and facilitate all this information to understand the European heritage.

    Actually, we are beginning with a first pilot. We have completed the database and we are working in the development of the open data tool. This pilot is focused on the northeast of Hispania and we hope to show it to you in the next Past Place meeting in December.

    Dear Ada,

    This looks great. Do you have a website of the gazetteer already, so that we can start getting some snippets of it?

    Dear Chiara,

    Thank you very much for your encouragement! Unfortunately, we are closing the last details of the website, because we have changing things in last minute. But I hope that in December we will be able to show the project. And we’ll go to the next Linked Pasts Symposium at Madrid, so maybe we can talk about this a little bit more.Thanks for your interest, see you soon!

    Ada
