I'm not looking for an inaccurate, old style globe, but a completely modern globe with all the place names either in Latin, or Latinized.

  1. 1. Buy a VERY LARGE globe

    2. Buy a Latin dictionary of place names (such do exist)

    3. Buy some white paint or tip-ex or white-out or correcting fluid.

    4. buy a good fine tip edding marker pen, say 0.05mm

    6. Get cracking.

    On another note:

    If you want to build up your vocabulary and you are a visual learner, then there is an ever growing resource of visual learning aids on Schola.

    http://schola.ning.com  



    You need to sign in, and visit the photographiae section.



    Here you will find over 2 800 photographs of objects, with the latin word for the object written on it.

    Some also have basic phrases, introducing related verbs. Everyday objects are included as well, such as furniture, crockery and cutlery, transport, boats, etc.

    There are also images related to learning greetings and salutations.



    This resource is constantly expanding, and anyone serious about learning Latin will find it useful



    All of the  resources are free of charge



    The Latinum podcast now has over 50 lessons online, each lesson is composed of several episodes comprising:

    a. grammar

    b. English-Latin conversational dialogue (question and answer)

    c. Repetition of the same short dialogues in Latin only, first with

    pauses, then again more quickly.



    There are already thousands of regular users of the lessons, located all over the world. The clickable map on Latinum's home page gives an insight into where in the world people are studying and listening to Latin.



    If you cannot attend an actual Latin class, (and even if you can)  then Latinum's lessons, and extensive vocabulary learning resources, classical text readings, etc, will be an invaluable resource.

    Many established Latin programmes, including schools and universities, are also now directing their students to it.

    With over 1,300,000 lessons downloaded to date, this is the largest single Latin programme available.

  2. One or more of these manufacturers might consent to a custom order.  Latinizing modern place names could represent a real challenge.

    Replogle Globes

    National Geographic Globes

    George F. Cram Globes

    Eureka Globes

    Atmosphere Globes

    Columbus Globes

    Artline Acrylic World Globes
