It follows the description of this topographical tool and its use.

The 1000 goal!
 Four months have passed since I have put online this site, but seeing the statistic data I consider me satisfied, for the number of visits that it receives and for the origin of the contacts. Nevertheless it still misses a real interaction among the navigators and the site (criticisms, observations and own articles), I hope that this can be born in the next months. In this brief article I shortly introduce the next matters that I will go to publish.

Women in Roman Legions. Is it possible?
 From archaeological excavations in England the mortal remains of two "amazzoni" (=Amazons) have emerged. They were buried with their horses and maybe were enlisted in the III-IV Century AD Roman legions.
The article "Giovani amazzoni nell'esercito romano" (=Young Amazons in the Roman army), published June 2nd 2005 by la Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno, is available here.
