Product Description:
This landmark historical map by John Speed reconstructs the full territorial extent of the Roman Empire at its peak. It stretches west to the British Isles and Mauretania in North Africa, east to Mesopotamia and the Parthian border, north across Germania and the Sarmatian steppe, and south into Egypt and northern Arabia. Hand-tinted coloured lines separate all Roman provinces and barbarian tributary zones.It features Speed’s signature Jacobean decorative border design: six panoramic inset views of key Mediterranean ancient cities line the top margin; vertical panels on left and right display male and female costume figures representing ethnic groups within the empire; exotic North African and Near Eastern fauna (camels, lion, ostriches) appear bottom-left. A lengthy printed text panel at the bottom delivers a chronological summary of Rome’s foundation, expansion and imperial golden age.Produced as a core educational reference for British universities and grammar schools, it synthesises geographic information from classical Roman authors including Tacitus, Livy and Strabo. It remained the most widely circulated standard map of the Roman Empire across 17th-century England, valued equally for historical study and decorative cabinet print collection. The sepia aged tone on surviving copies comes from natural paper ageing, with no modern overlay watermarks.
