- Roman Italy and Provinces: A Cartographic Snapshot, 1880Located in Langweer, NLThe map titled "ITALIA, Gallia Cisalpina, Sicilia, Sardinia, Corsica" focuses on Italy and its surrounding regions during Roman times. It offers a detailed depiction of the Italian peninsula, the Po Valley (Gallia Cisalpina), and the islands of Sicily, Sardinia, and Corsica. Produced as part of the "Spruner-Menke Atlas Antiquus" by Karl Spruner von Merz and edited by Theodorus Menke, this map reflects the 19th-century European scholarship on ancient geography and history.
