EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a piece of ancient history with the World Map according to Poseidonius, Greece, dating back to around 50BC. Created during the early 1st century by the Greek philosopher and geographer Poseidonius, this map offers a fascinating glimpse into how people viewed the world over two thousand years ago.
The intricate details and craftsmanship of this map showcase the knowledge and skills of ancient cartographers. From Europe to Africa to Asia, every corner of the known world is depicted with remarkable accuracy considering the limited technology available at that time.
As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are transported back in time to an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. The lines and symbols on this map tell stories of trade routes, cultural exchanges, and geopolitical boundaries that shaped civilizations in antiquity.
It's truly incredible to think about how far we've come in terms of mapping our planet since Poseidonius first drew his interpretation of it. This print serves as a reminder of our shared human history and the endless possibilities for exploration and understanding that still lie ahead.
