World of Juba II & Kleopatra Selene Map

Many thanks to the Ancient World Mapping Center for giving me permission to post this map in anticipation of the release of Song of the Nile, my forthcoming novel about Cleopatra’s daughter. I’m delighted to be able to share it with readers.

      Thank you! I think it’ll be very handy for SONG OF THE NILE because Selene will travel to many of these places, and the others will be important to the story.

      I was really happy to be able to have put the tribe names on the map. They provided the blank, and I filled in all the place names and tribes.

    I love, love love AMC’s work. I had access to a copy of the Barrington atlas ten years ago, and I’ve lusted after a copy to have for myself ever since.
