EDITORS COMMENTS
This world map, titled "Mundus Vetus" or "Old World," is an intriguing representation of geographical knowledge during the ancient Roman era. The map is attributed to Pomponius Mela, a geographer from the 1st century AD. The map depicts the known world at that time, with Europe occupying the upper half and Africa, Asia, and the unexplored southern hemisphere in the lower half. Mela's map is a significant historical artifact, as it provides valuable insights into the geographical understanding of the ancient world. Europe is shown with its major landmasses, including the British Isles, Iberia, Gaul, Italy, and the Danube River. Africa is depicted as a long, narrow continent, stretching from the Mediterranean Sea to the southern tip, with the Nile River running through its center. Asia is shown as a vast landmass, extending from the Caspian Sea in the north to the Indian Ocean in the south. The map also includes various mythical places, such as the "Island of the Blessed" and the "Land of the Eunuchs." The map's cartography is not based on actual explorations but rather on the knowledge available to Mela and other ancient geographers. This map is an essential reminder of the limitations of geographical knowledge during the ancient world and the remarkable progress that has been made since then. This image is a rare and fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the world as it was understood over 2,000 years ago. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this map make it a captivating work of art and a valuable historical document. The map's age and historical significance make it a must-have for any collection focused on ancient history, cartography, or geography.
