Description
This map is a fascinating illustration of the world as known to the ancient Greeks and Romans, based on contemporary geography. It was created by Charles V. Monin, a French map publisher and La Sociéte de Géographie member in Paris[^1^][1]. The map is hand colored and engraved, and it is in good condition, with some minor foxing. It measures 17 1/2 x 12 1/2 inches, and its authenticity is guaranteed. The map shows the different regions and countries of Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as some parts of India and Arabia. The map uses the names and divisions of the ancient civilizations, such as Gallia, Hispania, Italia, Graecia, Asia Minor, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Libya, and Ethiopia. This map is a valuable and beautiful piece of cartography, showing the world as it was perceived by the ancient Greeks and Romans, who had a great influence on the history and culture of Western civilization. It is a great opportunity to own a historical treasure, and to see how the world was viewed by the Europeans in the early 19th century.
