Description
This is an excellent Ptolemaic map, presented on a trapezoidal projection, shows a slice of the ancient world known as Sarmatia. It focuses on the Caucasus region from the modern-day Crimea and Sea of Azov to the mouth of the Volga River and the Caspian Sea. Two colums, Alexandri columnae, dominate the center portioon of the map. This was published by G. Ziletti and is from the third edition of Ruscelli's translation of Ptolemy's Geographia. Italian text on verso. This work is among the first to utilize copper plate engraving, in place of wood, and copper plates were used for maps for three plus centuries henceforth.
