Superb map of the Bay of Naples with the prominent city of Puteoli graphically depicted. In the first century, Puteoli was a mercantile outpost of Rome and one of the major trading ports of the Mediterranean. The map is beautifully engraved to show all the major Roman sites in the region including fortresses, villas, coliseums and roads. The large title cartouche incorporates various types of Roman coins.
