 The "Map of Greece" by Sebastiano di Re, a part of the "Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae," is an exquisite engraving from the mid-16th century. Crafted by an artist active in Rome between 1557 and 1563, this work reflects the keen attention to geographical and antiquarian detail characteristic of Renaissance cartography. The significant size of the original print (approximately 41.5x59.2cm) allows for a broad and meticulous representation of the territory, where the regions, reliefs, and coastlines of Greece stand out with clarity. The richly decorated graphic elements demonstrate a strong influence of Roman aesthetics on classical subjects, combining scientific accuracy with artistic flair.

This map was intended to celebrate classical culture within the context of the rediscovery of antiquity promoted by 16th-century Rome. The "Speculum Romanae Magnificentiae" was, in fact, a celebratory collection of engravings aimed at illustrating the magnificence and memory of Rome and its surrounding classical territories. Sebastiano di Re's work stands out for its engraving quality and monumental layout, making it a valuable tool for both scholars and collectors of ancient art.
