Chatelain's Map of Ancient Rome Printed Area Measurement_37 x 45 cm the Ligurian RepublicPlan Des Antiquitez De Rome, Reprsentes Et Distingues Suivant La Situation De Chacun De Ses Anciens Monuments Roma Vetus This map of Rome is an early modern conception of the city in its ancient form, derived from Ambrogio Brambillas 1582 map and published in Chatelains encyclopaedic Atlas Historique. Chatelain's imaginative reconstruction ignores the private or domestic aspect of Rome to focus entirely on the principal public buildings and monuments.
