From the Only English Text Edition of Ortelius' Atlas

"Germaniae Veteris, Typus", Ortelius, Abraham

This is Ortelius' second map of ancient Germany. The region covered takes in all of central Europe from Belgium and France through Poland, to include northern Italy and Hungary. The map is based on the writing of classical authors such as Ptolemy, Caesar, and Strabo. It is richly engraved and features four large strapwork cartouches. This example was included in the English edition of Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, published in 1606, with English text on verso.
