This historical copperplate map illustrates Northern India and Central Asia according to classical Greco-Roman sources prior to the fifth century AD. The map details regions pivotal to the campaigns of Alexander the Great and classical geography, including Parthia, Hyrcania, Margiana, Sogdiana, Bactria, Aria, Drangiana, Arachosia, Gedrosia, and Indo-Scythia. Major river systems such as the Indus, Hydaspes, Oxus, and Jaxartes are prominently rendered alongside mountain chains.\n\nThe map features an elegant rococo scrollwork cartouche in the lower left corner bearing the title. In the lower right corner, a compass rose points north, accompanied by distance scales rendered in both Grecian Stadia and English Miles. Above the upper neatline, plate markings read Vol. I. Page 369, indicating its origin as an illustration within an eighteenth-century historical or geographical compilation.
