Welcome!

The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

PALESTINE "at the time of Christ"

Hi, This is my first take on a real world location. The maps style is a mix of Classic and biblical reference maps. The map of Palestine at Christ time is one of the most printed historical maps in history (most bibles will have a similar map), thus I thought I would do my own Take this famous Map. The Map depicts the Roman province of Judea and its surrounding regions In the first century AD. The map is hand drawn with text, vectors and colours rendered in Digitally. The Text in the top right corner is Koine Greek the lingua Franca of the ancient Levant along with Aramaic. Would love to hear comments and feedback!
