EXPLANATION OF SIGNS USED ON THE MAPS
+ denotes "beaten by," the initial of the defeated preceding that of the victor.
Thus, D + S = Demetrius beaten by Seleucus, as in Map XX.
X denotes capture of a place. Thus, in Map XX, x Pt 9j against Cyprus denotes that Cyprus was captured by Ptolemy
in 295 B.C. Sometimes this sign appears in the colour representing the side which has made the capture.
X denotes a battle, the result of which is either not decisive, or unimportant.
5 denotes that the place where it appears has been ravaged. Sometimes this sign appears in colour, designating the side
responsible for the devastation.
A denotes camps, as in Map XLI\'.
Coloured lines mean the essential strategic marches of an army, the direction being indicated by arrow-heads. All coloured
lines do not begin from the starting-point of an expedition, where such starting-point is ob\-iousl3' indicated by the nature of
the movements.
The coloured strategic lines on sea are, of course, not uautically correct, which, given the scales of the maps, would be
impossible. Xor is it in any way necessary they should be so, the direction of the fleet being the only really relevant element
for the puqjoses of this atlas. Such sea lines often start from a point in the sea, when it is inunaterial to show from which
harbour or harbours the fleet started.
Red and blue lines indicate the two sides in a contest, and these are clearly distinguished in the reference table of eeich
map.
Small coloured arrows indicate harassing e.xpeditions.
Broken red or blue lines ( — •
