A dramatic map of ancient Thrace based on Ortelius' map of southeast Europe, derived from Gastaldi's 1560 map and information from numerous ancient sources. A portion of the Black Sea, the Sea of Marmara, and Thrakikon Pelagos are shown. Three decorative strapwork cartouches make this a handsome map. Engraved by Petrus Kaerius.

An excellent impression on a sheet with wide original margins and beautiful original color. There are a couple small areas of uneven papermaking on the right that are visible when the map is held up to strong light.
