Elegant map of the Iberian peninsula depicting the region in ancient times. The map was based on modern information from Clusius' six-sheet map of 1571 with ancient knowledge from Strabo, Appianus, Bongarius, Livius, Valerius Maximus and Suetonius. The region of Gibraltar and Cadiz are included in an inset. The map is beautifully engraved with a stippled sea, strapwork cartouches and calligraphy. This is the third state with Latin text on verso, published between 1609-12.

A nice impression on watermarked paper with attractive old color. There is toning, a few printer's creases at bottom left, and marginal soiling.
