Pusulaların iğnesi her zaman kuzeyi gösterir, daha çocukken öğrendiğimiz bir bilgidir bu. İyi de niye kuzeyi gösterir? Pusula iğnesi neden hareket ediyor? İcat edildiği MÖ 200’lü yıllardan modern teorinin geliştirildiği 1600’lü yıllara kadar insanlar pusulanın hareketi hakkında ne düşündü? Bu kuzeye dönme durumunu nasıl açıkladılar? Gelin videonun devamında hep beraber…

The most common geographical evidence we have from ancient Rome are catalogs of places. Roman maps, to the extent that they existed at all, were almost certainly rare and expensive. Ordinary Romans would not have had access to them. Instead, Romans would have used itineraria, which are just what they sound like — lists of the places a traveler might encounter along a certain road. Many itineraria are catalogs of the milestones that the Roman government placed on its road network.

One of the more famous itineraries is found on a set of cups that were excavated in Vicarello; they describe the route from Cadiz, Spain to Rome.

New update 27/09/24

The Captain of the Guard is playable!!! WOOOH! It was a big work, and currently only a very linear path is playable with the captain through Chapter 1, but I will add the rest of the choices later.

GOOD NEWS: It's the path that will definitely redeem poor Captain {instert-clever-insult} in the eyes of those who read the thief origin ❤️ So please give the captain a chance to do some good deeds to our resident little thief ✨✨✨

What the update includes:

Captain of the Theban Guard origin is playable! Lots of choices are still greyed out, but you can read through chapter 1 as the captain now.

16k words added to the demo, so that makes the total word count 185k.

I made a map! Well... I translated a map from my native language that I made ages ago for a similar book. It took me forever last week to find the English names for certain cities, and I'm not sure if some of them are correct or not but fuck it, it's good as it is. You can find the map in the Codex page in the Stats!

Did lots of bug and code fixes

Fixed some grammar and spelling errors

Next week, I'll add the missing choices in the captain route. Not sure if I'll have time to add all of them by the Friday update, but I'll try :)))

LINK TO DEMO

Hope you'll enjoy it! I'm especially interested to hear the opinion of those who've read the thief origin before 👀
