My notes on the map: No information has been added to Ptolemy's text as I have it: there is no topographic data and except for the Danube, the courses of the rivers remain unmapped, since at best, Ptolemy gives only the mouth and the source. To accommodate Ptolemy's own data, three adjustments had to be made to the coast. He does not list Phleum and Laciburgium in his plotting of the coast, so they must be at least slightly inland; conversely, he calls the asterisked point on the NW coast of Cimbria a promontory (as indeed it is) so I adjusted the coast after it, drawing a bay of arbitrary depth. Notice that while the orientation of the rest of the map is more or less accurate, Cimbria - modern Denmark - is tilted clockwise by about 60°. As in the even more striking case of Scotland in Ptolemy's map of Britannia, I attribute the rotation to the fact that Roman troops never reached the region: Ptolemy thus had no land measurements available and had to rely on pilots' accounts, influenced by winds and sea-currents.
