F82v as the Alboran, Balearic, and Ligurian Seas

[Linda]

Ignore the annotations on the vms crop, i couldn't get the extractor to work. The relief map needs to be rotated 45 degrees, with the Italian peninsula going straight up and down, to be comparable. It is the view one would see on a map of Italy with the boot perpendicular to the page. 

Bubbly blue layers in the vms are to me indicative of mountains. Rainbows are river valleys. 

I am suggesting that the Alps are the one on the right, with the semicircular interior and extended triangular exterior. The tornado looking one would be the Massif Central, which contains 450 extinct volcanoes, although it is pointing in the wrong direction. A 90 degree turn solves this. The 90 degree turn makes it so the shoreline goes perpendicular at that point, more like you are looking at a map of Spain.

See the two little pokey bits of blue coming off the rainbow on the right hand side? They match the locations of Lake Como et al, and Lake Garda on the edge of the Alps, respectively. The blue dot that is straight up but on the other side of the mountain is where Lake Constance is if you hold the relief map at the required angle. Straight up from Lake Garda.


The blue water would be the Bay of Lion. I think it is blue to show that a lot of fresh water runs into it, from all the rivers from the Rhone to the Tech in France, then more in Spain also. The nymph stands in a bay at the southwest end of the larger bay. This would be consistent with the Tech river delta. 



It does have an S bend in it at the source, and thermal baths as indicated by the red end of the tube in the vms. Or, it could be a river in Spain. 



The nymph is standing in a green bay that seems to be located at the southwest corner of the Bay of Lion, but the container extends to the right, then connects to the river tube. This may mean that the Bay of Lion was thought to extend to Barcelona, you can see a bit of a jog from what one might consider that 'corner'of the bay, perhaps this is what is indicated by the extension. Coincidentally, this is where the Balearic drawing at the bottom also extends to from the opposite direction. Whichever river it is, they all seem to have a source near Andorra. Barcelona, Andorra, and Marseilles are all indicated on f80r, among others extending to Genoa. This is a revisiting of that area, along with that of f80v, with further detail provided.
