Located in Langweer, NL
This authentic map of the 19th century, titled "PONTUS ET BITHYNIA, ASIA, LYCIA ET PAMPHYLIA, GALATIA, CAPPADOCIA, SYRIA, CRET, CYPRVS," details the regions of Asia Minor and surrounding territories during the Roman Empire. The map is interesting for a number of reasons: 1. **Comprehensive Detail**: It covers a wide range of regions that played significant roles in ancient history, from the cultural crossroads of Asia Minor to the strategic island of Cyprus. 2. **Geographical Information**: It includes detailed topographical features such as mountain ranges, river systems, and coastlines, illustrating the complex geography that influenced ancient political and military strategies. 3. **Historical Context**: The map reflects the Roman administrative organization of these provinces, which were critical for trade, military campaigns, and cultural exchange within the empire. 4. **Inset Maps**: The presence of inset maps for Lycia, Ionia, and Asia Minor provides focused details on regions that had substantial historical significance due to their cultural heritage and geopolitical importance. 5. **Latin Labels**: The use of Latin in the map’s labels and descriptions adds to the historical authenticity and would have served as a scholarly reference for 19th-century academics. 6. **Ancient Civilizations**: This area was the cradle of numerous ancient civilizations and the map likely includes cities of ancient Greek...
