Below are two insets, one of an area similar to the large map and the other of the Peloponnesian Peninsula (Greece). At sides, tables describe the countries and towns depicted on the maps, together with historical notes on the Empire of Alexander the Great and the Roman Empire. Two sheets joined, as issued.
