"Gulielmi Sanson Nicolai Filii, Geographia Patriarchalis Tabula Geographica in Epitomen Contracta...", Sanson/Mariette

This uncommon map of ancient Europe, northern Africa, Turkey, and the Holy Land shows the region divided into three large empires: the Roman Empire, the Constantinopolitanus Empire, and the Alexandrinus Empire. Political divisions, place names, mountain ranges, and river systems are all well detailed. The decorative title cartouche features ancient figures sitting before stone columns.
