This attractive pair of maps, drawn by Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville, shows the extent of the Roman Empire in Europe. The maps cover the area from Ireland and England east to Greece, Turkey and the Arabian Penninsula and contain very good detail of towns, cities, rivers and topography. The title cartouches indicate the maps were drawn in 1763 and 1764 by d'Anville, and were published by Laurie & Whittle in 1794.
