39 Only Rome, Athens, and Constantinople are given more detailed (1:150,000) treatment, and the atlas starts with five 1:5,000,000 survey maps of the oikoumene. Even if the technical reasons given are under standable, it is slightly annoying that the contours of the ‘standard scale’ maps are given in feet, while the three more detailed maps use metric contours.
