A very unusual map of Jerusalem. The entire wall around the city is shown, with the several gates. However, within the walls only a few important sites are shown such as the Palace of Queen Helena, Fort Antonia, the Tempel and Herodes' Palace. Outside the walls Golgotha, the graves of Helena and Herodes, the compounds of Pompejus, the Assyrians and Titus and the Mount of Olives are depicted.
