Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Original publisher's hand-colored map of the world "as known to the ancients." Modern-day Europe, the upper half of Africa, the Middle East, and Asia including Russia, India, China, and part of Southeast Asia are shown. Names such as Europa, Libya (for Africa), Scythia, and Arabia are used. A key beneath the title shows a boundary line with the caption, "boundary of the Persian Empire under Cyrus," suggesting this map is derived from geographic knowledge circa between the seventh and sixth centuries BCE (reign of Cyrus the Great was c. 600-530 BCE).
