Title: Asiae Peninsula sive Asia Intra Taurum by Christoph Weigel, Circa 1720 ? Decorative Antique Map of Cyprus and Asia Minor Description: This rare antique map, titled *Asiae Peninsula sive Asia Intra Taurum*, was published by the renowned German engraver and cartographer Christoph Weigel around 1720. The map offers a detailed representation of Cyprus and Asia Minor, showcasing the geographical knowledge and features known to the ancient world. It provides insight into regions that were historically significant, including Cappadocia, Galatia, Lydia, Phrygia, and Pontus, among others. What makes this map particularly unique is its decorative elements, including an inset featuring 27 medallions of ancient coins or representations of classical symbols. These medallions offer additional context to the historical significance of the region and make the map visually appealing to collectors of both historical and artistic cartography. Weigel's maps are known for their clarity and precision, and this example is no exception, with beautiful hand-colored details that highlight the different regions. The Black Sea (Pontus Euxinus) and Mediterranean Sea (Mare Mediterraneum) are clearly marked, along with important ancient cities and topographical features such as mountain ranges. The important places on the *Asiae Peninsula sive Asia Intra Taurum* map by Christoph Weigel include: - Cyprus: The island is prominently displayed in the Mediterranean Sea. - Pontus Euxinus: The ancient name for the Black Sea, located in the northern part of the map. - Cappadocia: An important historical region in central Asia Minor. - Galatia: A notable area in north-central Asia Minor. - Phrygia: A region in west-central Asia Minor, known in ancient times. - Lydia: A region located in the western part of Asia Minor. - Pamphylia: A coastal region in southern Asia Minor. - Cilicia: A region located to the southeast of Asia Minor, near the Mediterranean coast. - Bithynia: A region in the northwest of Asia Minor. - Iberia: Found in the eastern part of the map, referring to a region that is part of modern-day Georgia. - Caucasus Mountains: Depicted in the eastern section, part of the geographical border of Asia Minor. These places are historically significant and represent important regions in ancient geography, particularly during the Hellenistic and Roman periods. The map captures the regions as they were understood by ancient geographers. This map is a valuable piece for collectors of antique maps, particularly those interested in Asia Minor, ancient geography, and historical cartography. Weigel was a key figure in the early 18th-century German mapmaking world, and his works are cherished for their combination of geographical accuracy and artistic elegance. Condition: Very good to excellent, with well-preserved hand coloring, minor age-related wear on the edges, and wide margins.
