PAY IN THREE INSTALLMENTS WITH PAYPAL 

 The map of the ancient Roman Empire by John Speed is a renowned 17th-century work, with miniature bird’s-eye views of key cities such as Rome, Genoa, Jerusalem, Venice, Constantinople, and Alexandria, arranged along the upper border. Both sides of the map feature costume figures depicting men and women from various countries, including Spain, Turkey, Morocco, Italy, and Egypt, dressed in 17th-century attire. At the bottom, a text panel provides a concise overview of the rise and peak of the Roman Empire, offering a rich and engaging historical and geographical description.

John Speed was the most important English cartographer of the 17th century and the creator of the first world atlas in the English language, published as a supplement to his atlas of the British counties. Although the map was intended for the English market, it was engraved in Amsterdam, reflecting the Dutch style of the time with lavish illustrated borders. The quality of the engraving is extraordinary, surpassing that of contemporary English maps and matching the finest Dutch works of the era.
