Originally published in the monumental atlas Theatrum Orbis Terrarum by Abraham Ortelius, circa 1600, this map captures the historical region with accuracy and aesthetic finesse typical of early modern cartography. The map spans from the Aegean coast in the west to the mountainous interior of Anatolia in the east, and includes parts of the eastern Mediterranean, notably Cyprus and nearby islands. Cities such as Ephesus, Troy, and Pergamon are clearly marked, reflecting the classical geography that Ortelius was renowned for bringing to a Renaissance audience. Though originally issued on a sheet alongside two companion maps (of Egypt and Carthage), this example has been trimmed to feature the Natolia map alone. See less
