EDITORS COMMENTS
This 10th century map, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the ancient world as it was perceived during the Middle Ages. Known as Strutt 10C, this intricately detailed map is believed to have originated from Europe, showcasing the known world at the time with a focus on the Mediterranean and the Holy Land. The map's creators meticulously marked various geographical features, including continents, seas, and major rivers. However, what sets this map apart from others of its era are the depictions of buildings in some of the most significant cities. These architectural representations provide valuable insights into the architectural styles and cultural influences of the time. Some of the cities depicted include Rome, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch. In Rome, the map shows the Colosseum, Pantheon, and the Basilica of San Pietro in Vaticano. In Constantinople, the Hagia Sophia and the Great Palace are clearly visible. The Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque can be seen in Jerusalem, while Alexandria boasts the Pharos Lighthouse and the Serapeum. The inclusion of these architectural landmarks on the map not only underscores the cartographer's knowledge and skill but also serves as a testament to the interconnectedness of the medieval world. This ancient map invites us to explore the rich history and cultural exchanges that shaped our world centuries ago.
