About the Item
This map is an original antique engraving titled "ITALIAE REGIONES IIII SICILIA," which translates to "The Regions of Italy and Sicily." This detailed historical map portrays the regions of ancient Italy along with the island of Sicily.
Key features of this map include:
1. **Mainland Italy**: The Italian peninsula is divided into several regions, likely corresponding to the administrative divisions during the Roman Empire. These regions are distinguished by different colors outlining their boundaries.
2. **Topography**: The map illustrates mountain ranges, valleys, and plains, with shading and contour lines to indicate elevation. Rivers and lakes are also marked, adding to the geographical detail.
3. **Inset Maps**: There are several inset maps:
- **Sicily (SICILIA)**: A detailed map of Sicily, with topographical features and important cities of the time.
- **Pompeii (POMPEII)**: A detailed plan of the ancient city of Pompeii, providing an archaeological layout of the city that was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
- **Corsica and Sardinia**: Smaller maps of the islands of Corsica and Sardinia, also detailed with topographical features and regional divisions.
- **Campanian Plains (CAMPANIAE PARS)**: A focused map of the Campania region around the Bay of Naples, an area rich in ancient history and the site of cities like Pompeii and Herculaneum.
4. **Roads and Cities**: The map likely shows ancient roads such as the famous Roman roads (e.g., the Via Appia) and includes symbols to denote the location of major Roman cities, towns, and possibly villas or other notable sites.
5. **Latin Labels**: The map features Latin nomenclature for all geographical and historical features, staying true to the period it represents.
6. **Ancient Sites**: The location of significant archaeological and historical sites, such as battlefields, important villas, and cultural landmarks, might be indicated.
7. **Geographical Legends**: The map includes legends that provide explanations for the symbols used, the scale, and possibly notes on the historical significance of certain areas.
As with the other maps from the "Spruner-Menke Atlas Antiquus," this map would be an important educational tool for the study of the geography and history of ancient Italy and its regions during the Roman era. It combines detailed cartography with historical insights, making it a valuable resource for understanding the complexities of ancient Roman geography.
