This map is intended to show the Roman roads around the Humber Estuary, showing the sea influx if the 5 metre
is the limit of the high tide for Roman times, which I believe I can prove here.
One or two of the plotted road routes may have slight alignment issues as places and names have changed over the last
60 years since the books were published, making it very difficult to match locations exactly.
For the rivers, the 5 metre mark is shown however the tidal reach could be further inland due to the back
pressure from the rivers upstream.
Purple lines show potential new Roman Roads based on the landscape/satellite features.
