This is a very fine map of the region between Rome and Naples with the major roads delineated, including the Via Appia through the Pontine Marshes. Both Rome and Naples are illustrated in plan-view format, indicating their importance. The title cartouche incorporates a uniquely formed inset map of Nouveau Port de Nettuno. The map was beautifully engraved by Vincent de Ginville.
