Interesting map of the ancient world divided into seven climatic zones. The Asian continent is severely truncated and there is no Japan. The map is nicely composed in a semi-circular projection with a ribbon banner style title and eight wind heads. At top is a wonderful vignette of the mythological wind god Aeolos whose mountain prison constrained the Winds.
