This handsome map of the Iberian Peninsula delineates the former political divisions during the time of ancient Rome. The map extends to include the Balearic Islands. There is nice topographical detail throughout. It is decorated with a rather fantastical cartouche showing two horns of plenty erupting from a bull's head beneath a stylized shell.

References: cf. Pastoureau, SANSON V D [111].
