Based on p. 108 in the Penguin Atlas of World History, volume 1, from the Beginning to the Eve of the French Revolution. 1988. <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:BookSources/0-14-051054-0" title="Special:BookSources/0-14-051054-0">ISBN 0-14-051054-0</a>. Note that the map assumes that the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordwestblock" class="extiw" title="w:Nordwestblock">Nordwestblock</a> was Germanized before 500 BC. This is uncertain; alternative proposals hold that the area near the mouths of the Rhine came under a Germanic superstate only in the 1st century BC.
