"Italia Antiqua, of Oud Italje, met de Eilanden van Sicilien, Sardainje en Korsika...", Halma, Francois

A lovely map of ancient Italy that is based on the work of Nicolas Sanson and extends to include Corsica, Sardinia, and parts of Sicily and the Dalmatian Coast. The map is filled with ancient place names and is adorned with a large title cartouche featuring Cybele sitting on a celestial globe, four medallions, and three putti representing literature, the arts, and sciences.
