Beskrivning
Finely colored antique map of Ancient Rome, published by Pieter van der Aa and inspired by the work of Renaissance mapmaker Pirro Ligorio.
The map illustrates Rome at the time of Augustus Caesar, seeking to depict Rome in its grandeur and detailed complexity. At the center of the map is the Tiber River, crossing the city and portrayed with exquisite detail. Seven bridges span across the river, each painstakingly labeled with ancient Roman scripts. Noteworthy is the Pons Aemilius, the oldest stone bridge in Rome, captured in its original glory.
