This handsome map of ancient Italy credits the cartographic information to Theodorus Cluver by Philip Cluver in an elaborate cartouche flanked by two figures representing peace and war. The map includes all of Italy, with Sardinia and Corsica but only the northern part of Sicily, and is filled with ancient place names. A strapwork cartouche at top right lists known authors who have written about Italy. The map is decorated with a large galleon at left. Blank verso, published circa 1635.
