Oh, for one close look at that map. I fear it's likely to end up in the hands of someone who only values it for its "pop culture" significance rather than as a unique window into the mind of such a great author.

Minas Tirith has always seemed rather Mediterranean, so the Ravenna connotation is maybe not that surprising.
