CAP. XI: Germaniae magnae situs (Europae tabula quarta)
Book II, Chapter 10: Greater Germany (Fourth Map of Europe)

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, I had to make three adjustments. He does not list Phleum and Laciburgium in his plotting of the coast, so we should probably take them to 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 (and the absence of towns) to the fact that Roman troops never reached the area: Ptolemy thus had no land measurements available and had to rely on pilots' accounts, strongly influenced by winds and sea-currents.

The only other striking discrepancy to modern eyes is the placement of a range of "Alpes" Mountains north of the source of the Danube; Ptolemy's text rather lamely says that, like Mark Twain's Homer, these are not the Alps, but other mountains by the same name. . . .
