The True Size of Historical Empires

Pick an empire and drag its outline anywhere on the globe. The shape keeps its real size as it moves, so you can compare it with modern countries.

How it works

Flat maps stretch the land near the poles. When you drag a shape, Chronica Maps rotates it on the sphere instead of just sliding it, so a shape moved north grows on screen exactly as much as the countries it covers. Areas come from the historical border data and are approximate.
