Summary
| Description |
English: Caption: "Fig. 10.—Map illustrating w:Sallust's Bellum jugurthinum (11th century, Leipzig)." A somewhat detailed Latin T&O map with east at the top, but only identified by labeling the bottom of the map "West" (Occidens). Asia is decorated with the cities of Babylon (Babilonia), Troy (Troia), and [unlabelled] Jerusalem and the mountains of Lebanon (Libanus). It also has the cities of Sestos, Sidon (Sydon), and Tyre (Tyrus) labelled. Europe (Europa) is decorated with the city of Rome (Roma) and the Alps (Alpes) and Pyrenees (Pirrens). The city of Constantinople (Const.) and lands of Greece (Grecia), Spain (Hispania), and France (Francia). Africa is decorated with the 2 unlabelled cities as well as those of Carthage (Kartago), Leptis Magna (Leptis), and Cyrene (Cirene). The lands of Syrtis, Locapet, Ethiopia (Ethiopea), Geruli, the Moors (Mauri), Libya (Libies), Numidia, and [very misplaced] Armenia. The Temple of Ammon is separately listed and Egypt made an island between the Nile (Nilus) and the Catabathmon Mountains, misunderstood as a river or sea. |
