An original and historically significant antique copperplate engraving published in 1743 by the celebrated French cartographer Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d’Anville (1697–1782), Geographer to the King of France. This map was prepared for the continuation of Mr. Rollin’s Histoire Romaine by Mr. Crevier, one of the most important classical historians of the 18th century.
Titled Carte de la Province Romaine dans la Gaule, the map details Southern Gaul during the Roman period, including major Roman roads, ancient provinces, and Latin place names such as Lugdunum (Lyon), Massilia (Marseille), Narbo (Narbonne), and Vienna (Vienne). Borders, rivers, and tribes are clearly marked, making it an exceptional historical and educational reference.
