Antique 1808 World As Known to the Ancients Map by D'Anville from Rollins' Ancient History – Turkey Syria Greece Africa Europe Asia Italy

Beautiful, antique map of "The World as Known to the Ancients," published in 1808. This is an authentic map taken from Charles Rollins' "The Ancient History of the Egyptians, Carthaginians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Medes and Persians, Macedonians and Grecians" published by Rivington in 1808 and is NOT a computer reproduction.

See what Europe, Africa & Asia looked like in ancient times, as illustrated more than 210 years ago. Lots of charming, intricate details and contours, including mountains, rivers, lakes and ancient place names. Verso is blank.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
