EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning antique map print, created in the year 1807, depicts the vast territories of the Empire of King Alexander the Great, also known as Alexander III of Macedon (356-323 BC). The map extends from Greece in the west to India in the east, showcasing the vast expanse of land that was once ruled by this legendary conqueror. Alexander's empire included the Middle East, Persia, and parts of Central Asia, stretching from the Caspian Sea in the north to the Arabian Gulf in the south. The map accurately illustrates the territories he conquered, including Egypt, Phrygia, Syria, Babylon, and the Indus Valley. The map also highlights key geographical features such as the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Aral Sea, and the mighty River Nile. The territories of Scythia, Arabia, and the Persian Gulf are also clearly marked. Alexander the Great is depicted as the 'Basileus' or 'King' of Macedonia and 'Hegemon' of the Hellenic League. He is also referred to as the 'Lord of Asia' and 'Shahanshah' of Persia, reflecting his dual role as the ruler of the Greek world and the Persian Empire. This map is a testament to the historical significance of Alexander the Great and the vast territory he conquered during his reign. It is an essential resource for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in ancient history, particularly the history of the Middle East and Asia. The map is intricately detailed, with a clear and easy-to-read key, making it an excellent addition to any collection of historical maps or a research library. The map's antique charm and historical accuracy make it a fascinating and educational piece to display in any home or office.
