{"product_id":"old-map-of-rome-1588-by-georg-braun-forum-pantheon-circus-maximus-colosseum-vatican","title":"Old Map of Rome, 1588 by Georg Braun - Forum, Pantheon, Circus Maximus, Colosseum, Vatican","description":"\u003cp\u003ePublished in 1588 by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg, this is one of the first (and rarest) printed maps of Rome. If Shakespeare visited Chester, this is what it would've looked like. This map was first published in Civitates Orbis Terrarum - the Cities of the World - which was a cartographical masterpiece featuring 546 maps.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis map looks great at all sizes: 12x16 inches (31x41cm), 18x24 inches (45.5x61cm) and 24x36 inches (61x91.5cm), but it looks even better when printed large.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI can create beautiful, large prints of this map up to 400cm (160 inches) tall. Please get in touch if you're looking for larger, customised or different framing options.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe model in the listing images is holding the 24x18 inch (61x45.5cm) version of this map.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe fifth listing image shows an example of my map personalisation service.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e450 years ago, Rome was one of the biggest and most populous cities in the world. Compare this map of Rome to some of my maps of London or other UK cities and you'll see what I mean!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll of the ancient Roman landmarks are visible on this map, including the Roman Forum, Colosseum, Circus Maximus, Hippodrome, River Tiber, Pantheon and Castel Sant'Angelo (named here as Hadrian's Mole).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Vatican is here too, though it's more like a named landmass rather than the Vatican that you'd recognise today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNotably St Peter's Basilica isn't on this map - instead there's the Circus of Nero (also known as the Circus of Caligula) which would soon be knocked down and replaced by the Basilica and other Vatican structures that you'd see today in Rome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe map has 269 numbered points of interest, with a legend at the bottom of the map to help you find them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis would make a wonderful birthday, Christmas, \u003cspan\u003eFather's Day, work leaving or\u003c\/span\u003e housewarming gift for someone from Rome or who has Italy in their heart.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis map is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. The frame is a nice, simple black frame that suits most aesthetics. Please get in touch if you'd like a different frame colour or material. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex\/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Unique Maps Co.","offers":[{"title":"12x16in (30x40cm) \/
