Duval - Map of the Roman Empire (Southern Europe, Meditteranean, part of Africa & Asia)
This fascinating map is from Pierre Duval. It was part of a composite or collector's atlas of his maps. It was done in Paris circa 1670s.

The composite atlas originally included maps from the following works: Les acquisitions de la France, Les Cartes des provinces eschûës a la Reine, Cartes … pour bien entendre les historiens, Les XII provinces, La géographie Françoise, Le monde ou la géographie universelle, Le monde chrestien

Pierre Duval (1618-1683) was a French geographer. He was the nephew and pupil of the geographer Nicolas Sanson. He later became Geographe Ordinaire du Roy to King Louis XIV.
