"[Lot of 2] The Persian Empire Divided into Twenty Governments by Darius Son of Histaspes [and] Imperium Persicum Tempore Cyri Magni",

Two small maps depicting the Persian Empire from the Balkans to present-day Pakistan. Both maps give basic information with rivers and a few place names identified, and show the Caspian Sea in a rudimentary shape.
