Two thousand years of European Jewish history in one Map

This map is part of my personal project to map the Jewish history. A picture that worth a thousand words.
My original map can be found here.

This map is based on Google Maps template. It is best viewed in full screen where one can Zoom-In/Out, drag the mouse cursor etc. It shows the outline of modern borders.
  • The lines indicate major migrations from one country to another.
  • Orange color indicates Judea with light orange indicating towns with the early Jewish diaspora in Pre-Roman times.
  • Red shows major Jewish settlements within Roman empire.
  • Each country's earliest known Jewish community are shown in different color group. I define earliest communities as those established within the first hundred years of Jews settling in the country.
Enjoy!
