About the Item

The map is titled "ALEXANDRI MAGNI REGNUM," which translates to "The Kingdom of Alexander the Great." It depicts the vast territories conquered by Alexander the Great during his reign, stretching from Greece across the Near East to parts of India. This map is particularly interesting for its depiction of: 1. **Vast Empire**: It covers the extensive reach of Alexander's empire, highlighting the diverse regions he conquered, from Macedonia and Greece to Egypt, Persia, and beyond. 2. **Historical Context**: The map represents the Hellenistic world post-Alexander’s conquests, which led to the spread of Greek culture across the known world in a period known as the Hellenistic Age. 3. **Inset Maps**: There are inset maps of significant battle sites and cities, like Halicarnassus and Tyre, reflecting key moments in Alexander's military campaigns. 4. **Geographical Features**: The map shows important geographical landmarks, such as the Nile River, the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, and the mountain ranges that Alexander's army would have traversed. 5. **Latin Nomenclature**: The use of Latin titles and labels for places and geographic features reflects the academic traditions of the time when the map was created. 6. **Cultural Blending**: The map may illustrate the beginnings of the fusion between Greek and Eastern cultures that Alexander's conquests initiated. 7. **Strategic Routes**: It might depict strategic routes used in Alexander’s military campaigns, including the path to the Indus Valley. This map is from the "Spruner-Menke Atlas Antiquus," crafted by Karl Spruner von Merz and edited by Theodorus Menke. The atlas was a notable 19th-century publication used for educational purposes, offering detailed maps of ancient civilizations with a focus on historical accuracy. The period the map covers corresponds to Alexander's campaigns, which lasted from 336 to 323 BC, a time when he created one of the largest empires in ancient history and greatly influenced the subsequent cultural and political landscape of these regions.
