ancient map
Vintage world depiction
An ancient map is a map made in antiquity or one depicting the world as understood in earlier times.
The term covers both genuinely old artifacts—Ptolemy's geography, medieval mappae mundi—and modern reproductions styled to look aged: The restaurant decorated its walls with ancient maps.
Ancient maps often reveal as much about historical worldviews as about actual geography.
