World map in 300
An ancient-world reconstruction where authority often cannot be reduced to a surveyed modern border. This sourced reconstruction contains 466 mapped geometries. 71 have source labels representing 71 distinct names; 395 have no usable source label.

Named in the source
States, realms, and regions mapped in 300
Usable source labels can mix states, empires, dependencies, cultural regions, and other mapped entities. Wording follows the dataset rather than forcing every shape into a modern-country category.

Precision in the source
Not every border deserves the same confidence
Precision is inherited from the dataset when available. It describes how the line was encoded, not the overall certainty of every historical claim inside the polygon.
- Approximate border
- 466
These precision categories cover all mapped geometries. Label coverage is reported separately above, so the two sets of counts should not be added together.
