A Web-based resource I'd like to see.

womzillaAnd by posting about it here, I hope to find it:
A comprehensive set of political maps of the historical world. That is, a site where you could specify a date (ranging from, say, 100,000 BCE to 2005 CE) and you could get a set of maps of the known and conjectured political boundaries of the human population. Population charts would be great, too, but I really want a site where I can choose 1770 and see the boundaries of the New World colonies, then zip to 44 BCE and see the extent of the Roman Republic at the death of G Julius Caesar, then to 7890 BCE and see what the best guesses of the migration of human settlement are. Anyone know of such a thing?
