Published in December 1949, just a few months after the conclusion of a bitter civil war in Greece, this gorgeous map is as eye-catching as it is informative.

This classical lands map celebrates the magnificent history of the Greek, Roman, and Phonecian civilizations. An abundance of historical notes and detailed map insets of ancient Athens, ancient Rome, and the worlds of Strabo, Herodotus and Homer, illustrate the rich history of the Mediterranean region. An additional inset featuring the boundaries of the Roman Empire, Alexander's Empire, and Phonecian and Greek settlements add further insight into the lands that drove western civilization.

This map is truly a unique conversation piece. The beautifully muted color scheme makes it a perfect complement to any decor. A must-have for historians.

Your map is rolled and packaged in a sturdy tube to protect it during shipment.
