          Of course, Roman-era material+influences travelled equally far in other directions too, e.g.https://twitter.com/caitlinrgreen/status/778958558561959936 …

          May I ask please, what did the inscription say and what may be inferred from it?

          Is there any idea to what extent such maps show where things are, and where people have looked for/been interested in them?

          I once read a book on insects, where data was clearly biased to "within bike ride of collector's house".

          I don't know how such things are measurable, but cleverer people than me have presumably thought about it...

          Definitely is a real issue; for example, lots of investigation of the Libyan Sahara but significantly less of the Algerian desert... :-/
