An interesting map of ancient Asia at the time of Alexander the Great, showing the regiond and trade routes. Four scales- Roman, Greek, Persian and Egyptian. Most placenames are in Latin, shows from the tip of Italy, and east Africa in the West to China and Sumatra in the East
Good clean condition.Good margins there are closed tears to edges, top and bottom of centrefold and creases across the left hand corners have split, no loss. None of the tears affect the map itself. Some offsetting on right side
