The regional cover maps are editorial illustrations created with AI. They help locate each collection, not establish exact borders. Cultural and linguistic areas are not states or empires; Rome shows an approximate maximum around AD 117, not its territory throughout its history. The Iberian cover highlights the Mediterranean coast; soft orange elsewhere is a visual treatment, not an indication that one culture occupied the entire peninsula.
