Historical map of the Roman Empire created by Nicolas Sanson D'Abbeville. It is an engraving.
The map represents the extent of the Roman Empire in the second century AD. Territories in Europe and Africa are indicated. Modern-day England is also part of the empire. Note the very accurate outline of the Mediterranean Sea compared to today's.
In the upper left corner there is a Latin inscription dedicated to the Roman Empire.
Nicolas Sanson (Abbeville, December 20, 1600 – Paris, July 7, 1667) was a French cartographer, famous in the 17th century.
He studied at the Jesuit college in Amiens. A map of France he drew when he was only 18 years old attracted the attention of Cardinal Richelieu.
