This interesting map shows the entire eastern Mediterranean with many ancient place names along the coasts. The map illustrates Paul the Apostle's journey from Jerusalem to Rome, and includes a notation next to a small, engraved ship, indicating the location of Paul's shipwreck at Malta in 60 A.D. Paul stayed in Malta for three months and performed a number of miracles, like the healing of the Roman governor Publius' father, before his imprisonment in Rome.
