EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the Map of Constantinople and Marmara Sea. Dating back to the 12th century, this drawing is a copy after a Roman original found in the Tabula Peutingeriana (Peutinger table), an invaluable medieval map of Roman roads. The intricate details depicted on this horizontal illustration offer us a glimpse into the topography and geography of ancient Constantinople. The city's majestic coastline along the Marmara Sea is beautifully captured, highlighting its strategic location as a vital hub for trade and commerce during that era. As we explore this historic map, it becomes evident that it was meticulously crafted with precision and care. Every road, street, and landmark within Constantinople is intricately etched onto parchment, providing us with valuable insights into how Romans navigated their way through this magnificent city centuries ago. Although devoid of people or any signs of modernity, this drawing transports us back in time to experience Constantinople's grandeur firsthand. It serves as a testament to the mastery of cartography during medieval times and reminds us of the importance placed on accurate mapping even in those early days. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) allows us to appreciate not only the artistry involved but also provides historians with valuable information about ancient Roman infrastructure and urban planning. A true treasure for enthusiasts interested in both geography and history alike!
