The "Sketch of the Battle of Marathon," published in the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society, is a historical map that accurately depicts the area where the famous battle between the Greeks and Persians took place in 490 BC. The map highlights the plain of Marathon, an alluvial area located on the coast of Attica, bounded by the surrounding hills and the sea, which was the site of the decisive battle. The representation includes topographical details that help understand the disposition of the two armies in the area, showing key points such as the site of the Persian landing, the Greek camp near a sanctuary dedicated to Heracles, and the main access routes onto the plain, recreating the strategic setting of the battle.

This map, preserving its original color, serves as a historical document and teaching tool for visualizing the dynamics of the battle in which the Athenian army, led by General Miltiades, defeated a numerically superior Persian invading force. The work highlights the importance of geography in military success, showing how the terrain's conformation, with its hills and marshy areas, influenced Greek tactics and the final outcome. Published by the prestigious Royal Geographical Society, the map combines scientific rigor and historical value, offering an in-depth look at the battlefield of Marathon, a pivotal event in ancient history and the defense of Greek civilization.
