This sheet presents a comparison of the known Ancient World according to Strabo with the eastern hemisphere in the late 18th century. The map of the ancient world depicts the equator at bottom, with a notation that the parallel divides the inhabitable portion of the earth from that which is too hot and unsuitable for habitation. Geography is limited to a few key rivers, mountain ranges, and place names. Engraved by Guillaume Nicolas Delahaye. This map appeared in an Oxford edition of Strabo's Geographia published by Casaubon & Falconer in 1807.
