Historic world map in my coins page

Hello Numita admins and users,

Would not be cool to display the world map with the historic countries/empires borders when selecting a date/century or former country, e.g.
select 2nd century and see the Roman Empire , the Parthian Empire, the Han Dynasty etc and your coins shown in that map;

just an idea, a clever way to select/navigate world timelines would have to be implemented, as well as the creation of the world maps, the development would be not easy but I would help to do it

A "toy" at the end of the day, and maybe few people will actually use it

What do you think?

This idea was brought up many times over the years. Cool yes, feasible ... most likely no.
But you can play with THIS

Hey R
​I like the concept, since I've coins worth 400+ years and would love to see the historic borders for eg. Germany (extra interesting for those unified countries). When many of the coins spent more than the modern borders, it can be hard to see whiche countries on the map there are covered and which one is missing, when you see all your collections. I want to have a ll my world coins in one collection, but the way the map display it, makes it a bit annoying that the Ottoman Empire "cover" for 3-5 countries I miss

As a side note, couldn't it be interesting to see a close up of those unified countries too? Like if one has a lot of coins/notes from German-states for instant, then be able to see an old map with the borders of un-unified Germany and fill that out.

Hello,
I suggest we continue the discussion in this other topic, which suggests a similar idea:
