This map shows the Holy Land in Roman times divided into Galilee, Samaria and Judea with Peraea Batanaea on the west side of the Jordan River. Although Reland uses the traditional format for his map of the Holy Land, he excludes the fanciful names and imaginary rivers from previous maps. The allegorical title cartouche features a terrestrial globe, mapmaker's tools, and Judea in chains, with the port of Jaffa in the background. Engraved by Broen.
