Nice little map of Italy's central-west coast, including Rome and extending to include from Lake Bracciano down the coast to Gaeta. There is good topographical detail including forested areas and scores of towns linked with the major roads. The map was engraved by Petrus Kaerius and it is decorated with a lovely banner-style cartouche.
