For a while I worked on a project related to mapping the ancient world (so you could e.g. click on a ancient city and then see items from museums from that city, references in ancient texts etc) and one of the interesting problems was not just that cities changed over time but that things like coastlines also did.

Sounds super compelling, did it end up launching?

It did, but I'm not sure it exists any longer. This was 15 years ago and I've just done a quick google and can't find it. It was called the Pelagios project and it used the Pleiades gazetteer.
