This is less a single map than a digital project, but I like Şehri Konstantin's cityofconstantine.com Asking students to compare the scale and monuments of Rome vs. those of late antique Constantinople is almost always eye-opening for them.

PS. The first time I ever set foot in San Vitale I was the only person in there, late on a weekday afternoon, and an organist was practicing Saint-Saens' Danse Macabre: very spooky! (www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDWM...)

San Vitale, Ravenna. You could just show them the mosaics of Justinian and Theodora, but why would you stop there when they occur in such a magnificent setting?

It's always fun to tell students that this **is not** what they think it is, and discuss the continuities between the late Roman and medieval Christian religious traditions and imagery.
