This map, from Samuel Butler's historical atlas published in London around 1829, shows the ancient Caucasus with Armenia, Colchis, Iberia and Albania, regions that today correspond in part to Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. It is a scholarly map typical of the 19th century, designed to reconstruct the geography of the classical world through ancient names, regional boundaries, rivers and cities rather than for modern practical use. Its value lies in the way it makes visible the complex historical layering of the Caucasus, an area of contact between the Graeco-Roman world, Persia and local traditions.
