This is Robert de Vaugondy's detailed map covering primarily Hungary and Romania with parts of Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, and Bulgaria. Scores of towns and villages are located with good topographical detail as well. The Chemin de l'Empereur Trajan, Emperor Trajan's route along the Danube, is shown in Romania and Fort Romain is just east of Belgrade. The title cartouche is decorated with implements of war. There are three distance scales at top right.
