"Landkaart van het Eyland der Batavieren en de Daarin Gemaakte Gragt van Domitius Corbulo...", Loon, Jan van

This map of ancient Holland depicts the Island of the Batavians and the Canal of Domitius Corbulo. This is one of several maps of the 16th-18th centuries that illustrate the theory that there was a link between the Dutch and the Batavians, who were thought to be a very developed people inhabiting parts of the Rhine Delta in Roman times. Decorated by a simple block-style title cartouche and distance scale on a plinth.
