I am building a map of people who lived in the Roman Empire

This project compiles a comprehensive, searchable map of named individuals from the Roman Empire, including not just elites but also ordinary people, freedmen, and slaves. It serves historians, genealogists, and data enthusiasts by aggregating scattered records into a single geospatial dataset. The project is interesting because it reveals the vast social breadth of recorded Roman life, challenging the typical focus on famous figures and officials.
