This map illustrates the administrative and geopolitical situation in Roman Gaul two centuries after the Roman conquest, which began with Julius Caesar's campaigns (58–51 BCE), bringing the region under Roman control. By 200 CE, Gaul was fully integrated into the Roman Empire and divided into provinces such as Gallia Narbonensis, Gallia Lugdunensis, Gallia Belgica, and Germania Inferior and Germania Superior, which flanked the Limes Germanicus, the fortified frontier along the Rhine River.

What is the font used on this 1990s Welcome to Oklahoma sign? There's obviously some negative kerning shenanigans going on, and the "Welcome to" part is horizontally stretched (sadly all too common on Oklahoma road signs, sigh), so both of those have made it impossible for WhatTheFont to get an ID on it. But I have to think it's based on a stock font because I can't imagine Oklahoma shelling out to commission something custom in the 90s.
