Created around 1748 by Kreitz, this copper-engraved map was published to illustrate the extent of Phoenician trade and exploration, which flourished from around 1500 to 300 BCE. The map spans from the Atlantic coast of Hispania and Mauretania in the west to Mesopotamia and the Caspian Sea in the east, and from southern England and Tartary in the north to the deserts of North Africa and Arabia in the south.
