This striking map by Christoph Weigel depicts the course of the Danube River from its source in Germany to its mouth at the Black Sea, including surrounding regions such as Italy, the Balkans, Greece, and parts of the Ottoman Empire. The map is finely engraved and features original hand-colouring, with each political region carefully outlined. A detailed allegorical cartouche in the lower left illustrates Roman figures and classical symbols, reinforcing the map’s historical and geopolitical themes.

Weigel’s map exemplifies early 18th-century German cartographic artistry, combining clarity with decorative embellishment. It served both scholarly and aesthetic purposes in an era when classical antiquity and contemporary politics were closely intertwined in mapmaking.
