Genuine original antique engraved Ptolemaic map of part of western Asia, printed more than 450 years ago. This map is titled Tabula Asiæ III, and the image area measures 18.5 x 24.5 cm [7¼" x 9¾"]. The coverage area extends from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea and includes Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, southern Russia, and a portion of neighboring Persia. The map is based on the work of Claudius Ptolemy and was published by Girolamo Ruscelli, Venice, in his 1561 edition of Ptolemy's Geografia.
