Double-page map of Lake Como titled "Larii Lacus vulgo Comensis descriptio -
Territorii Romani descrip. - Fori Iulii, vulgo Friuli Typus."
Drawn by Abraham Woertels for his celebrated Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, in the 1579 edition, plate dimensions 483 x 340 mm. As specified on the map of Lake Como itself, Ortelius relied on the work of Paolo Giovio (Auct. Paulo Jovio), a Como historian, dating back to 1559, to which he gave a spectacular artistic and historical reinterpretation. This piece has an attribution mark,
