About this map This is a rare, handcoloured map of the Roman Empire from 1626 by the most famous cartographer of his time, John Speed. The map shows the Roman Empire at its largest, spanning all the way from the British Isles to North Africa to Assyria (modern-day Iraq/Iran). At the bottom of the map is a 'short declaration' of the beginning, increase & height of the Roman Empire - or at least, as far as John Speed understood it in 1626. Across the top of the map are detailed illustrations of major cities that were important at the height of the Roman Empire, including Rome, Venice, Genua, Jerusalem, & Constantinople. The various 'costumes' of people in Europe & the Roman Empire, such as 'the Spaniard' & 'the Egyptian' adorn the left & right sides of the map. This map looks fantastic at all sizes, from 12x16 inches (30x40cm) all the way through to 24x36 inches (60x90cm) & beyond. I can print massive versions of this map at sizes up to 2 meters (80 inches). Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options. The model in the listing images is holding the 20x16 inch (50x40cm) version of this map. I also have this same map in its original monochrome copperplate form.

It's a beautiful piece of wall art that would make a good
