36 Pieter van der Aa - Map of Rome - "Antiquæ Urbis Romæ Imago Accuratiss Ex Vetustis Monumentis..." - 1681-1700

The map illustrates Rome at the time of Augustus Caesar, seeking to depict Rome in its grandeur and detailed complexity. At the center of the map is the Tiber River, crossing the city and portrayed with exquisite detail. Seven bridges span across the river, each painstakingly labeled with ancient Roman scripts. Noteworthy is the Pons Aemilius, the oldest stone bridge in Rome, captured in its original glory.
