Germaniae Veteris Typus.

Early c.17th map of ancient Germany by Abraham Ortelius, published in, Ortelius’s, Parergon. Ortelius used cartographic sources from ancient authors such as; Tacitus, Cæsar, Dionysus, Ptolemæus, Suetonius, Eutropius, Seneca, Plinius and Strabo.

This atlas of ancient geography must be regarded as a personal work of Ortelius. For this work he did not, as in the ‘Theatrum’, copy other people’s maps but drew the originals himself which were later engraved by Jan Wierix … The maps in the Parergon have to be evaluated as the most outstanding engravings depicting the wide-spread interest in classical geography in the 16th century.
